The cabinet was about as wide as a roundy color set, symmetrical with oval shaped speaker grilles on either side at the bottom.

There were no makers marks anywhere that I could easily reach, and I would like to know what it was.

Also it was only 15$ so if it is rare enough that someone would want a cabinet to repopulate I could buy it to pass it along to a caring home.

Tom,

If that Westy cabinet is in GOOD condition I would like to have it. I have one of these and the cabinet is not very nice. I havent' restored my Westy yet because the cabinet will be a lot of work. I have been waiting to see if I can find a better one with a nice cabinet so if this on is nice I definately want it.
