NICE!

My parents had exactly the same bedroom furniture when I was a kid... I really liked the drawer pulls with the domed orange/brown plastic? on the top. there was a vanity also, with a low middle section between what appeared to be two night tables. above the drop section was a tall mirror about 2- 3 ft wide with a curved top. Cool seeing this again

Thanks!
They have catalin pulls I think or maybe it's bakelite. That's a Lane cedar chest on the left. I'd like to get a matching vanity, but there's no room. Was your parent's something like this?
My place was built in 1873 and the room dimensions are really silly. Some 7' X 7' - my bedroom is only 7' X 10'

Here are pictures of my other pieces of Art Deco and Danish Modern furniture.

Here's a tip if you find a set that hasn't been powered up in a long time.
This 10BP4 showed 0 emission at first. That's pretty much how all my 10BP4s have tested at first. Let them run for an hour at least before considering them dead or weak. Running for a while @7 V can help too. Try this before trying to rejuvenate them. Sitting around for a few decades seems to put them to sleep.

Here's this one after 30 min @. After ran hour it was into the green

Not quite, the mirror was not round, it went straight up with constant width from the drop section and was rounded only at the top. The cedar chest was very similar to your Lane, but had diagonal pattern wood grain panels in the center, and a cast pull with the catalin plastic? on the lid to lift it. Great pix BTW!
