<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 381463, member: 6444"]Looks like inside shelf was added or moved, so not original. This may have originally held an early (50's) television. Size and doors would make sense. Doesn't explain why it had that piano-hinge top, however. I don't think any old vinyl turntable would fit in there, at least it looks like it is only a couple inches high. But maybe an antenna shaped like this or one that would be used with the lid open and unfold upwards:</p><p><img src="http://www.dennysantennaservice.com/image/18799050_scaled_360x222.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Or maybe the controls were in the top like this one:</p><p><img src="http://www.earlytelevision.org/images/Stromberg_TC-18LX.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://www.earlytelevision.org/stromberg_tc-18lx.html" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
