Hey Guys -
Here is one of those desks with a "hidden" phonograph. Well, the phonograph has been removed... but maybe it's worth pursuing to restore? I don't know what they're thinking with their asking price, but hey... just thought i'd share.

Not sure how much these go for comlplete....but is $800 for a project like this a bit high (or am I just eternally cheap in my search for project machines)?>

Re: beautiful phonograph desk in CA - to be restored?
no, that definitely seems a bit unrealistic to me too. maybe half that might make it worthwhile... but it's still just the cabinet... I've seen complete ones (in need of some work, but complete) sell for half that... if the thing was complete, in oak, and especially if everything was in good order, I'd say it was worth (as in could sell for) more, but that's just my opinion.Zeppy wrote:Not sure how much these go for comlplete....but is $800 for a project like this a bit high (or am I just eternally cheap in my search for project machines)?>
