Saw this at an antique shop yesterday Lindstrom converto interesting does anyone have one?? I think there pretty cool . He wants $50 for the cabinet not sure what to do but pretty cool. Have to find a vv-vi to fit it hmm.

That's an interesting cabinet, never seen one before. It reads "Lundstrom", I don't think it has anything to do with the Carl Lindström AG.

Definitely worth getting for $50...

More often seen in oak than in the mahogany finish.

Dedrums, would you mind correcting your post's title to make this thread more easily searchable in the future?

Thanks, Mark

I have one of these cabinets with a VV VI in it. Kind of cool, mine is in Oak.

We have an oak one with a VV-VI in it. It has a nice feature where the upper an lower flaps of the horn opening, open to form a horn extension with the doors on the Victrola.

If I were you, I'd be buying that up in a heartbeat! The mahogany version is less common.

If you buy it contact me via PM and I might be able to locate the correct crank extension for it. The standard crank is not long enough so the cabinets came with an extension coupler. It's buried in my shop somewhere, I think!

Startgroove, that is the best one I've seen. Most don't have that much figuring in the grain. Wow, that's really nice. I agree you don't often see them in mahogany. I believe there were 2 models, one for the IV and one for a VI and since all IVs were in oak that would make sense why they are scarce in mahogany.
