Recycle belly button lint!
Having never seen one of these before I had to share it with my fellow console enthusiasts here. From a Canadian audio site:
I was going to cannibalize this unit this unit, but looking at it, this is too cool to deserve that fate . So I’ll accept the first reasonable OFFER that I get for it. The cabinet looks like a black ash dragged finish, & the component pieces are in very nice condition. I think the unit dates from 1954 based on some of the labeling on the back of the consol. This would be a great accent piece for a loft or large room finished in retro styling. The unit is in working order, so this is not only great eye candy. It has AM & FM radio, a Garrard Model RC 88/4 record changer, & all tube components. The table runs but I have been unable to get it to play., not being familiar with them The speaker system is mono consisting of a 15” woofer, 2 of 8” mid range drivers, & one Jensen 6” H.F. horn. There is no name on any of the other drivers. The power unit uses 2 of 6L6 tubes. There are 12 other tubes in the unit, but none are Mullard or any of the highly sought after tubes. If you’ve got this far look at the photos. SWEET !
NOTE: THIS UNIT IS EXTREMELY HEAVY, APPROX. 53" LONG X 30" HIGH X 19" WIDE.
As I get to be an old man, I realize that it is time to dispose of many of my audio treasures in order to facilitate a move to smaller accommodations. I plan to list a number of items over the next few months for this purpose.

No affiliation. Except being oldish, and Canadian, as well as a tube head who wouldn't have the heart to cannibalize such a beaut.
