He wasn't especially careful unloading it, so I was getting a little tense. Once unwrapped the cabinet appeared to be in pretty good shape, but the amp was sliding around loose on the inside (not a good thing). Before driving back to the office, I plugged it in to see if the turntable worked as advertised and it did. Didn't have time to put an lp on, however. I know Rock'n'Roll Heaven, so that's a good lead for repairs. Thanks. TikiFish: I think I know the stereo cabinet you had. Is it the one that looks like a jukebox with sliding doors on the front? If so, this cabinet is a litle different from those, but was proabably made by the same company. It has cloth covered speakers on either side, sits on top of four skinny legs, and has a drop-down door on the front to access the amp/tuner, and a lift up lid on top to get at the turntable. The sides are definitely some kind of faux dark wood, but other parts appear to be teak, or at least have a honey tone to the wood. Why do I have a feeling this thing is going to cost me a lot more than the $200 I spent for it on ebay?
