A Garrard 301 would be nice in there.
Guess what I'm going to do with this!

With my wish to keep the drawer and to get this ready for company coming over tomorrow, I'm shortcutting the build.
I cleaned it up a bit and got rid of most of the felt, excess wood and cardboard. Then I cut the 1/2" plywood you see to fit, added the wide cutout for wires and dropped it in.
I cut the drawer underneath and tacked it back together about 2" shorter so the wires can drop straight down.
I tested it with an average turntable with the lid on and there was not enough head room. My Realistic LAB-2100 that currently sits in this room won't quite work as the depth is just a hair too much with the 15" front to back. I am not worried however, as I think my B&O RX will fit easily. With it's low profile and top mounted auto controls it should be just dandy.

How very cool.. I like that.. .
BUT...
You said to ignore the stuff on top... That one box siting on top.. wasn't that a record box?
I found one very similar, only thinner that was made as a record box... BEAUTIFUL Mahogany.. I cleaned it up.. used it a few years, then sold it before we moved for a heck of a lotta money...

That was probably an old instrument (as in electronic) or microscope case or something. That was when it was still in the shop and those things come and go all the time, and I don't remember noticing it.
Sorry no pic of that right now. It's a large buffet/sideboard with nice detailing and matched veneer.
No, it's not that I don't notice stuff like it's just that I see so much of it. I spend a day or 2 almost every week at that shop and it's not a junk store at throwaway prices, it's my friend's antique shop. It's also where I have a shop in the basement and work on a lot of electronic gear. I also help out in other ways upstairs.
Of course, being that connected with it I sometimes do get stuff at throwaway prices so I have to watch myself!
