"Simulated woodgrain" sawdustboard cabinet. The wood detailing was hard foam that was blown into molds and painted brown with little black flick and smudges to try to hide to fact that the speaker grill and all the detailing was foam.
Circuit board screwed right to the sawdust board, and a little transformer sitting in the bottom of the cabinet. Powering everything but the turntable motor.

Those are what is referred to as "Jimmy Swaggart" consoles. Usually when original owner or family dies off, you find Jimmy Swaggart, or private label vanity Gospel records and tapes inside said console or Christmas records. RadioTVPhonoNut says it well. Cheap mother of particle board junk.
