Alas, not all of us have one. :( I have a pretty nice XVI though.

Thanks to everyone for all the help and tips, I greatly appreciate it! This is by far the most intricate cabinet I have attempted- never mind adding the the phono into it. I'll throw some more pics up as I go. The project I did before this one which probably lead me to the Victor was a "record cabinet" I got at a garage sale for 20 bucks and restored. It will make a nice companion piece to the Victor but I have not been able to find much info on it. Anyone have an idea who made these?

That might be a sheet music cabinet.

The styling on your record cabinet suggests late 1930s or 1940s to me. It would seem to match several Sheraton style radio-phonographs of this period that I have seen.

Awesome job on the XVII!!!!! I wish I was as organized as you. I noticed a wood bracket you made for the doors. Nice idea. Do you still need a crank for it? I can dig through my piles to see if I have one.
