    Well, shoot! How’d I miss the uploader on this! I got the coolest lamp and wanted to add a photo – guess I’ll wait till next time!

    The Willis & Co. stereo cabinet is mine. Made in a little town outside Montreal by a company better known for making pianos.

    And it was plucked from the garbage in my 1960’s MCM neighbourhood. A little cleanup and it looks great! Hides all my modern stereo and computer equipment inside, and the remotes still work through the fabric covered speaker openings.

      Will – there’s a site that ‘talks’ to this site, where you upload your picture. I forget what it was, have to wait for Pam or someone with a better memory. 🙂
