i found a beautiful old china cabinet. it had a stain on the top and a pane of glass broken.
i took it home cleaned it up. put a new piece of glass in it, and now it is full of my wifes nic nacs.

I didn't find it, but a buddy I work with did. It's a 54ish Philco console (AM radio, turntable, tv) that he saw along the road. He picked it up for firewood, thinking it was a rundown old cabinet, but when he realized what it was, he decided that it would be better fit at my house, since I collect radios/tvs. It's big, and I had no idea what to do with it, so I jokingly said, "If it fits in my trunk, I'll take it." Not thinking it would fit, of course.

It now sits on my porch as a garden cabinet/plant stand. (Missing everything inside but the radio unit.)

i found a victorian piano stool a couple years ago , it was from 1860's and in good shape . it needs to be refinished and such . never got around to that but it look nice once its done .

Now that's what you call a big addition Trevor . Had to comment on your collecting radios , used to collect a lot of them as well years ago . At one time I had around sixty five table radios and a good fifty transistor radios . Got rid of most all of them a few years back . This one some how escaped being passed on with the others . It is the Lady Bug transistor radio , when you turn the volume up and down the wings open up and close . Thought you might like to see it .

That's pretty neat, LC. I haven''t got anything new in a while. No room left in the apartment, and no extra funds as of late. []

If I remember right , my best table radio was a small Silvertone catlin . I believe it booked at a thousand , sold it for seven hundred when I started getting rid of the radios .

Amazing! Wish I could locate a catalin.

The one I had was quite small for a table radio , and a butterscotch color , and it was an Emerson not a Silvertone . I had three different catlins but that little Emerson was the best of them all . Kind of wish I had kept it , did not take up much room .
