[QUOTE="Joanne, post: 381252, member: 8005"]Absolutely agree with regard to holes- unfortunately there are so many of them in various places (completely in line with your suggestion it had been re-purposed, and perhaps multiple times) that it is quite hard to figure out which ones may have been there at creation, and which have been added. If I assume the "neat" (1) hole is possibly original and the "less neat" (2) (I'm being polite) hole may have been the re-purposing butcher :-) then I am unsure because the "neat" hole is rather off center. But then that depends on how a turntable may have been attached, obviously the spindle is centered, but that may not go all the way through. And if electric (as there are no holes in the sides) then power cables had to go somewhere. Oh- I suppose speaker wires had to run somewhere, too. Also very much agree that something was covering the top board- and very likely leather or velvet. Although the gramophone boxes I looked at often didn't. [ATTACH=full]131696[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
