Our first ever DIY!
Bill found this AMAZING
retro tv on Craiglist in Milwaukee
a few years ago. It
is a RCA Victor from the
late 50's.
He took the tv tube out & removed all of
the wires. We bought a
wood wax to shine it up a bit &
a custom piece of glass for the shelf.
(We also left the back on so you can't see through it.)
The original knobs had to be
glued in place so they didn't fall out
& we added rope lights under the
glass to light it up.
We have since installed wine glass racks for
storage! It looks so awesome lit up!
The most expensive part was the tv & second
to that was the custom glass which has a special
finish (it's not clear) to it to keep with
it's vintage look.
The doors are Mahogany & have a beautiful pattern
on them. There are a few scratches
but overall we lucked out
as the cabinet is in beautiful condition!
Here it is shown with my late
Grandfathers record player on top
& our pups stockings. :)
It has been fun thrifting vintage
bar ware for it! We will have
to share some of our finds soon!
Enjoy!
