Worth the trip.

Post by Phono-Phan »

A member of our phonograph group emailed about a bowed front record cabinet. I looked at the Marketplace post and noticed it was a Salter record cabinet. I contacted the seller and they said it was already spoken for. I asked to be contacted if the deal fell through. Well to my surprise, the original person that was supposed to come decided to pass on it. Today, I drove a 9 hour round trip to get it. I am amazed how clean and original it is. I had to put it next to my other one and use them for bookends. :lol: :lol: :lol:
Does anyone have an original catalog showing this model record cabinet?

I have to give credit to the APS website. Here is what I found. If your not already a member, I would highly recommend joining that great organization. If you are a member, it is time to renew.
