I just found the original sales slip. Purchased from Polk Bros 1/14/1959 $ 619.95.  It is a beautiful cabinet, radio still works, has a tape recording device and of course the record spin that plays 45's, 33's and 78's.  Needs some wiring work.  If you think it's worth $100.00 call me at 708-788-3015.

Good Lord....$600 in 1959 for tunes for BerwynPatsy?, your parents truly loved you.

I think they would have been able to buy a Buick for only a couple more hundred bucks
at that time.

Bad wiring?...I'll talk to a guy I know

The beauty is still available. My first 45 record that came along with it was "16 candles"!!

I have to mention a great nostalgic paper back I got for Christmas "IMAGES of America  CICERO REVISITED"
Author Douglas Deuchler.
Mustang 54, you would no doubt enjoy this book also.

Do you have a picture of it?


Have you read the other IMAGES books by Deuchler? 




On that receipt there's something you don't see anymore, "COD."
I forgot my p's started out on South OPA as well.  Next I'll be buying the house my grandma grew up in... :D

In the meantime, have bohemian keep an eye on it for you.

Bonster, sorry I do not have a picture of it.  Bear usually does any photo shoots if I ask him.  PM me though and you are certainly welcome to come by and take a look if you think you are interested.  It's Blond
wood, and of course needs
some work.  The outside is in great shape and makes for a nice piece of furniture.
I read the BERWYN IMAGES paper back also.  Good Reading.

I knew Bear was a dancer, but a model?

I have been working very hard to keep in shape,
a daily regimen of 12 oz. wrist curls helps me keep my
boyish figure
