Retro CoMO

Philco Stereo Console.  Seller says that the turntable works but isn’t sure about the radio.  I like the style of this one- the top is mostly solid and the stereo is accessed through the front rather than the top.

$25 in Vienna (40 minutes south of Jefferson City).  Here’s the link: Vintage Philco Stereo.

Tiered End Tables.  Nice clean style with tapered legs, but it’s hard to tell the condition.

$10 each or $15 together in Columbia.  Here’s the link: Vintage End Tables.

Loveseat Set.  This looks like one couch, but it’s actually two pieces.  Both are pull-out sofas.  The fabric is swell, but it’s hard to tell the condition or what the actual style is like.  You’ll have to push for more pictures or go see it yourself.

$100 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: (COUCH) Very Nice Vintage.

Heywood Wakefield Bamboo Set.  Includes couch, two chairs, coffee table, side table, lamp, and ashtray holder, though I would check on those because I do not think that Heywood Wakefield made lamps or ashtray holders, and I think this price is high.  I am not a HeyWake nut, though, so I don’t really know.  The upholstery is all matching vintage barkcloth.

$1500 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: Heywood Wakefield Set.

Pepsi Sign.  This gets into the gray area of what is vintage and what is not, but I don’t care what you say.  It’s my blog and I’ll do what I want!  It reminds me of arcade games and pizza and sodas with shaved ice, and now I want one of these signs for myself.  I would put it up in my kitchen.

$40 in Sedalia.  Here’s the link: Pepsi Sign.

Stereo Console.  Walnut cabinet with radio, turntable, and 8-track.

$150 OBO in Rolla (about 1.5 hours southeast of Columbia; Lake of the Ozarks Craigslist).  Here’s the link: Stereo Console.

Adjustable Stools.  Originally used in a dentist’s office.  They don’t exactly match, but that’s ok.  I like the industrial look and think they would make great barstools if you had a really masculine vintage minimalist thing going on already.

$35 each OBO in Kirksville (about 1.5 hours north of Columbia; Kirksville Craigslist).  Here’s the link: High Quality Computer Chairs/Stools.

Dinette Set.  The seller calls it a Brady Bunch dinette set.  I agree!  I love that fabric.  I also love yellow.  I have documented my love of yellow throughout this site.  Despite the yellow, the price seems pretty high.  But the seller says the chairs are in near-mint condition with no rips or tears, which is great.  That tabletop looks nice too.  Your call.

$200 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: Brady Bunch Dinette Set.

Dresser.  It comes with a big mirror.  I can’t tell what kind of drawer pulls those are, but I like the legs.  The wood looks like it’s in good condition.

$125 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: Vintage Retro 60′s Dresser.

Chaise Lounge.  This looks like it’s in really nice condition, so much so that I wondered if it was even vintage, but then I think they don’t make these anymore, especially with the little wheels on the bottom.  But it’s cool, isn’t it?  I love the red.  I wish I had a reason to own this.

$145 in Glasgow (about 1 hour northwest of Columbia).  Here’s the link: Chaise Lounge.

Old Coke Machine.  Lights work, gets cold, but needs a new door lock.  My brother apparently just inherited one of these.  I am a little jealous, but not enough to go find one of my own.

$300 in Linn (about 1 hour southeast of Columbia).  Here’s the link: Old Coke Vending Machine.

Console Stereo.  GE brand console stereo.  The seller says it’s from 1966 and that the radio and turntable both work, but that there’s some water damage on top of the cabinet.  I wonder how far some Restor-A-Finish would go?  Hmm.

$40 in Jefferson City.  Here’s the link: Antique Console Stereo.

Danish Modern Stereo Console

I love these.  I wanted one last year for a television stand, and settled on a credenza instead.  Which is probably for the better, actually.  With the hollow spot in the middle for the turntable, these aren’t generally strong enough to hold a big heavy non-flatscreen television.  (What?  It hasn’t died yet.  When it dies, I’ll go all LCD.)

Anyway!  The seller says you can play an iPod on this if you use RCA cables, which is pretty cool.  I’m sure the seller would give you a lesson if you wanted to learn.

$150 in Columbia.

Retro Coffee Table with built-in turntable and radio.  Is it really a coffee table or just a low credenza?  Either way, seller says the phonograph works and that’s rare in these.  Not that they can’t be fixed, but it’s nice that this one doesn’t need it.  Several pictures in the ad.

$100 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: Vintage Retro Coffee Table.

Baby Scale.  I posted one of these before because I thought it was interesting.  Then I saw a photographer use one of these as a prop for newborn baby photos, and I thought was on the cute end of the newborn-baby-photo-prop spectrum.  Has this one been painted matte white?  I’m giving it the benefit of the doubt and saying no.

$30 in Northeast Columbia.  Here’s the link: Antique Baby Scale.

Vintage Sleeper Sofa.  I like this green-gold vintage fabric.  It was very popular then.  Probably insanely heavy.

$50 in Columbia.  Here’s the link: Vintage Sleeper Sofa.

Vintage Table.  Formica table with leaf and six vinyl chairs.  If the chairs are in good shape, this is a good price.

$200 in Rocheport (about 20 minutes west of Columbia).  Here’s the link: Breakfast Table.

Vintage television/radio console for $150 in Columbia on Craigslist this past weekend.  The wood is in good shape, but the radio/turntable do not work.  It’s listed as a Magnavox 254H American Modern upright radio.

I like the clean lines and the handles.

I’ve seen other people use these as television stands, and that might work as long as your TV isn’t too heavy.  Pop your DVD player & cable box on the shelves to the right, and you might have a plan!  Or maybe you could restore it.
