Nice little thing. About 4.5 feet wide, golden fabric covered faux doors, fixed, wooden louvered speaker grilles, AM/FM stereo w/ TT from about '61. No idea on the guts. Really nice mahogany finish on short spindle legs.

Nice ladies. Don't lowball.

Well, ok, a little - they're motivated enough.

1 block west of the elementary school on 71st Street. Between 100 and France.

I have absolutely NO idea what I'd do with it, but if they have it tomorrow at noon, I might get it!! Somebody stop me, please.

It sounds like it would be fun to own. We had a Motorola from about 64 (maybe earlier) in our living room, with the exception of the fabric on the fake doors, it sounds the same. It had the tuner section in the lid.

Buy it, Buy it, Buy it, Buy it, Buy it, Buy it, Buy it!

i have one just like you mentioned -gold tolex on the front with solid mahogany case. The thing is HEAVY like over 100#s. Yikes. My neighbor put it out for the trash and the only thing wrong with it was the back cover has a protector switch that wont let the amp power up if the back is not on and secure. Its not high fidelity but there's a 15 inch jensen gold speaker in the middle that probably can fetch some good money on epay! Mine has 5 speakers, tt on the left center is for storing records and right side has the amp and radio controls. Nice in it's day I guess. I can listen to 78s on it. it's got so decent tubes in it to!
