The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hi, a bit off topic but "our" crowd has to appreciate the quality of these fine chests, which are still being built today for $1,500 dollars and up!

Here is a vintage chest, used but not abused, nice vintage specimen C41C 20 x 12.5 x 9.25. Plenty of room for all your phono repair tools. It looks like mahogany to me. 7 drawer layout, with 2 half-width drawers on the left, 3 half-width on the right and 2 full-width drawers. The design of the chest has the front lid (door) which locks directly using the spring loaded pins when the top is closed. This chest works as designed. It has some bumps and bruises but is absolutely sturdy. Correct knobs. Gerstner chests are still being made and cost over $1500 new, this one can be purchased for $350. I can deliver to the Schaumburg phono show coming up in June. please call, text,PM or email too purchase and Thanks for looking John Duffy 860-966-2827

Nice box, John. I collect Gerstner toolchests. I hope someone here picks this up. The mahogany chests are somewhat scarce. The correct drawer knobs can still be purchased from Gerstner if the new owner desires.

Thanks Jerry, I have fixed the knob situation and cleaned it up a bit. Rock solid tool chest. JD
