It turns out I already have an ORIGINAL Masterpiece 1 cabinet. This same cabinet was made in Rockford Il by Peerless furniture and sold to both EH Scott and McMurdo Silver for about 1 year. Scott called his the ORLEANS and McMurdo called his the Sheraton Combination.

I found this cabinet 2 years ago in St Pete in a used furniture store as a shelving cabinet and had Kenny Richmond do a restoration on it. There were differences in where the speakers were mounted due to size differences. Many thanks to Gerry Steffens for the original cabinet brochure for MS.
