Victor VI Cabinet

Post by clarphon »

If you were at the Union Show, you might have seen the nice and rather unusual Victor VI cabinet I purchased. It needed quite a bit of restoration including repair or replacement of all 4 legs that had been cut off. It also needed a drawer to be made for the inside. For this cabinet there is record storage on each end. 12 inch record storage is available on one end and 10 inch storage on the other end. The 10 inch side has the drawer. There is a before picture as well as pictures of the restored cabinet. The pictures actually aren't as nice as the cabinet appears in person. I left the original finish but had it enhanced. I think the cabinet restorer did a great job on the legs and drawer. Come by and see it close up!!

Thanks for looking. Stan Stanford

That's an outstanding cabinet, Stan. Having seen it at Union, I would never guess that it is the same cabinet. Congratulation on having it brought back to it's original glory.

Boy, that cabinet is drop dead gorgeous!!! The restorer did an outstanding job restoring this beauty. For the cost of the cabinet, and the work done on this, you got a super bargain. :D :clover: :rose:

Stan, Your cabinet is nothing less than spectacular. :mrgreen: If I remember correctly the horn on your Victor VI has a Victor decal. Correct?
