Welcome back! Todays article is about a repurposed antique console radio set I spotted. Unlike todays ultra modern televisions and entertainment centers with their gloss black plastic and stainless steel finishes the appliances of the 1930's & 40's had real style and were made to the same exacting standards as a fine piece of furniture. Unfortunately with all technology it changes rapidly and quickly becomes outdated and when it breaks is difficult or sometimes impossible to repair after time.
Hence todays piece is on an antique console radio I spotted on a buy sell group and it is stunning while giving what would be destined for the landfill a second lease on life. Keep following as I have plans for a console radio project in the near future.

| With the original circuit board and vacuum tubes removed there is plenty of room for storing wine glasses; all the while retaining the charm of the original radio. |

| And where the speaker used to reside is now a functional wine rack. I would love to do one of these only have a modern radio incorporated into it so it still plays the classics. |
