Mid Century Modern Motorola Hi-Fi Stereo Console Coffee Table
This item has SOLD!
This was Motorola’s 1960’s version of a coffee table. “It’s a bona fide stereo hi-fi and comes with AM/FM radio to boot!” That is exactly how it was advertised. This was available in white as well as the 2- tone brown Model SK-99RB-T Ser # A47032.
We stumbled upon this a few years ago while picking up a Leslie Diamond dining set. It was in a barn that was set up like no other… a real “Man Cave”! I pointed and said, “I want that!” So… we struck a deal and loaded it right up with the dining set. I have been wanting to offer this, but I just couldn’t in the original condition. As you can see, the exterior needed some fixing up. Many projects later…here you are!
We removed the old tattered fabric and replaced it with a period appropriate brilliant orange fabric. I think the gold that is woven throughout gives it a 60’s feel. Sadly… the Motorola emblem that was attached to the front could not be salvaged.
All four legs were tarnished terribly, but now sparkle!
And YES! The stereo works! The turntable needs a little more tinkering by a professional, as it drops the needle on the second song. The sound is great though! This will be one amazing conversation piece in your home or office.
This was designed at 16” high so that it could easily be placed in front of a low window. With an exterior that is finished on all 4 sides and 50” long, it is the perfect size to place in front of your sofa and use as a coffee table. I must say this design was a brilliant idea!
