Thanks for the information!  I'd actually like to put it in my apartment, so I'm really glad to hear that I can save it.  As for year does anyone have an idea?

I honestly have no idea.  When my grandparents moved, this stuff got stored in an old building of the Naval Ammunition Depot here in Nebraska.  This and something similar to this along with the rest of their antiques have been exposed to heat, cold, moisture, etc. for maybe over......at least 15 to 20 years.  After they died, no one bothered to go through any of this and it's still been sitting there, so I'm trying my best to figure out what everything is and see waht I can salvage.

Antique Questions Forum / RCA Victor Victrola Record Player Cabinet Thing??

Hi, I am new to this forum and to antiques in general.  I just started going through my grandma and grandpa's old stuff and have found a lot of antique lamps, phones, furniture etc.

I found an RCA Victor Victrola record player cabinet thing and have been looking online for over a week for anything similar to this with no prevail.

I don't know what year it is, but I do know that it is genuine RCA.  It has RCA Victor on it, Victrola on the inside, and the RCA dog at the very bottom of it.

If anyone could give me some input; history, value, year, etc.  I would really appreciate it.

PS The record player itself is in poor condition; moldy and rusted out.  The cabinet itself is in great shape though.  No nicks, scratches, or chips, and the sliding shelf the record player sits on slides with ease.
