A friend of mine who has knowledge on wood finishes.

Is your friend anywhere near Michigan and do they take on work from others?

Marc,

The 1941 Philco "Beam of Light" record changer is a great machine. I like the looks of them. The 1942 V-225 "Magic Brain" Victrola radio phonograph is definitely interesting.

Thank you for posting the video.

For those who like early appliances. Here is my next project. 1927 General Electric Dual Door Refrigerator next to the 1927 Victor 10-50. As you can see they are both BIG! After this is restored, it will be placed in the kitchen. There will come a time that I will need a larger home :lol:,
