I love this project! When my parents bought their house that was built in 1902, there were two Edison Phonographs under the front porch. We have no idea how long they had been there but they had been chewed on by some critter and smelled of cat urine. They eventually made their way into the basement where they sat for 47 years before I took this one to transform it into a bar cabinet. Another piece headed for the dump saved with a little (a lot) of elbow grease.
