Actually, now that I think about it, I am not 100% sure this is a 1950's, that is what I was told by the previous owner.

I am pumped about tinkering with this thing and this may be blasphemous to even say, but I am trying to decide right if it would be better to try to find old parts and restore it to original fashion, or simply keep the integrity of the exterior look, but update the inside with a new radio, speakers, turntable, etc.

What do you guys think? Is it sacrilege to not restore this thing to 100% original?


Here it is: (Sorry for the terrible picture quality, these were taken on my blackberry, and apparently I have a hard time holding it still)

If anyone is interested in giving me any additional info on this thing, that would be much appreciated. I dont know anything about working on radios, or wood work, so this is truly going to be a test for me. However, I am very interested in learning, and I want to turn this into something I am proud to put in my music room.
