Record/radio Cabinet Made Into...
by

(IC: homeowner)
I came across this old record player/radio at an auction. No one wanted it and I knew right away I could make it into something else.
Here is the before. I removed the door and took all "guts" out. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of that. I cleaned, sanded, and primed the entire piece inside and out.
I cut out and sanded down all the racks, painted, and put it all together and it's now a wine rack.
I left the radio intact so that if the buyer chose they could add a modern antennae and speaker so they could play the radio again.
Enjoyed the project?

Jennifer Pearish-Haas on Dec 02, 2015They are so neat done this way. Word of advise, don't hand sand the wine bottle part or you will have a very sore arm like I did. Haha

Mary on Dec 02, 2015@Sarah and Jennifer not sure if Jennifer saved the parts, but if so they can hold value. Look at ebay for reference, but if you don't won't the hassle of selling definitely worth donating. Lots of(ok maybe only a select few ;)) folks would love to have them for repairs, the fuses are impossible to buy unless found on sites like ebay. Awesome wine friendly, unique and classy bar 🎶 you did a spectacular job! Blessings

Jennifer Pearish-Haas on Dec 03, 2015Thank you Mary! And I did have a couple people try and buy just the radio from me but I didn't want to separate them. I haven't been in contact with the lady that bought it but she was gifting it to an avid music fan so I'm hoping he made it functional again.
