[Phono-L] WTD: Grille for 4-door Credenza

[Robert Wright]

Maybe they figured they could use an electric pump to run water into the pipe T-fitting to wash the signal path for the cleanest sound possible.  Obviously the hole was cut to drain into a bucket.  Did you get the bucket in the deal?  An eBay seller told me those Credenza buckets are worth a pantload.  ;-)

Watch out, friends, as dumb as those folks were for committing these crimes against phonography, there are a lot more of them than there are of us.

Good luck with the restore, Mark!

Best,
Robert
