by Pam Kueber on August 4, 2008

catherine

I have an ad for Motorola that shows this Drexel record cabinet! There’s a couple dancing in their mid-century modern home, with a pool outside.

Hey, akcollar, do you have a scanner or can you shoot a digi-photo? If you send it to me – I would be happy to posted it. Sounds wonderful!

Motorola had Drexel cabinets for a few years in many styles. That was one of their selling points, and Motorola was one of the best products on the market. Yours is a beauty! I found one a couple of years ago, but it was empty!
