Well, I checked the 1-076 cabinet and the UL stamp is inked out on it too.
The first picture on the left is the inside of the phono side in the 1-076 cabinet. The rear panel is Masonite. I was surprised to see that they used regular plywood on the right where they separated the TV from the phono. The left side is mahogany veneer. In the 1-128 they used mahogany veneer on the right side too. I had thought they would also use it for the back, but I think Masonite might actually look better because of the uniform surface. The color of the Masonite looks much different than the wood in the photo, but to the naked eye they are quite similar. Looking at the photo in the Sam's, it appears that they used Masonite in the 1-128 model also.
But, the record changer is supported differently. In the 1-076 it hangs into the speaker cabinet. In the 1-128 it's above the record storage area and sits on a platform. The board to support the changer fits into a dado on the right side and is screwed to a rail on the left side. It also sits on a board at the front of the cabinet. I'm not sure if they used Masonite or plywood which sat on the bottom rails to separate the space between the changer and the storage area.
The photo on the right shows the rosette that is on the 1-076 cabinet. I believe it's the same as the missing ones on the 1-128. I suppose I should make a mold of it to replicate it. However, I'm tempted to get a Carvewright to make one out of wood. But, unless I can come up with a number of other uses for the Carvewright, that would be a silly expenditure.
