FOR SALE BY OWNER: child of original owner. The console has been in one family, in the same home since it was newly purchased in the mid 1960s. It was the family entertainment center many a Sunday for beloved NY Philharmonic and Metropolitan Opera broadcasts. It was a key source of inspiration for the owner to learn to sing, then act... on Broadway, West End, film & TV.
