Makes my pulse go aflutter thinking about my first repeater/remote base 
that was built into one of those cabinets. Inside was a different 
matter, but it looked so classy on the outside we even got permission to 
put it inside a cable TV head-end building which was the best site I 
ever had, heated and even with a fully-stocked tube caddy and tools (we 
just replaced whatever we used).    I never got tired of admiring its 
art deco styling.

As you can see the biggest issue is the rack rails are on the back side, 
rather than on the front.   Depending on what you want to do with it, 
that may not be a problem, or you'll have to get creative and get out 
the blue wrench ;-)

One of Robert WØVMC's masterpiece AM transmitters was built into one of 
those cabinets, but sadly the chrome speaker was removed and the opening 
expanded for a viewing window to see the PA tubes.   Which was pretty 
cool too.
