Not only getting uglier but also more elaborate!
The creator of this horror may have been "inspired" by the corner columns and pillasters of the G&T Style No.14 De Luxe, but there any resemblance ends.
No doubt an interior decorator will buy it on behalf of a client with more money than taste.

Ouch!
And now for a WEIRD-O-PHONE...
http://www.ebay.it/itm/ANTICO-PHONOGRAF ... 0848550153
The description says that this item IS an antique and original phonograph that has been "filled" with a cassette deck and a radio! The seller confirms that the phonograph is in good working order, if you find a crank and a decent horn.

WIERDOPHONE!!! I love that one. You coined a new word. Now we have crapophones, frankenphones, and now weirdophones. That's great!!

Most likely one of those "Thomas Phonograph" radio/cassette players that turn up from time to time…
