Steve MillerWhat is it?
Bought this little cabinet on Facebook Marketplace. It just fits the space where we want to put it.
Top flips up and there are small shelves underneath it.
At first I thought it was for an office - files on top, mail on the shelves. Now I'm not sure. The top compartment has a false bottom that is supported by springs
Now I'm thinking record player, and indeed there is a hole in the back where a cord might have come through. Must have been just for 45s though - other record sizes won't fit on the shelves.
Your thoughts?

ShiroKuroNo idea. I thought maybe shoe cupboard, but it's not quite right for that....
Whatever it is, I like it!

big alI think it's the case for a Victrola, but it's a most unusual style.
Are the shelves large enough for 78 rpm records? Most of those were 10-inch diameter.

I'll measure it tomorrow.
It's made from interesting stuff. It's riff-cut oak but it's not quarter sawn. I've never seen anything like it.

wtgI was thinking along the same lines as Big Al, but the style seems a little more contemporary than what I normally think of as Victrola era.
