Respect your elders

Growing up, I always loved my grandparents furniture. My grandma liked nice things, and fortunately, she liked nice things from the 1950's and 1960's. After my grandma died and my grandpa started suffering from alzheimers, I mentioned to my dad how much I always loved the stereo and TV consoles. He offered to give them to me and even drove them about 400 miles from my grandparents house to mine. I love these so much!

The console with the TV is a Silvertone XXIII and the record player inside still works.


The other console is by a company called Viscount and has a working AM FM Stereo and record player inside. The cord had been cut by accident, but my husband was able to rewire it.


I see similar consoles at vintage furniture stores all them time and the pricing is reasonable. I strongly encourage anyone who loves mid-century furniture to get your hands on one if you can, because your records sound incredible when played on these!
