We are interested in selling our Capehart furniture cabinet.  The cabinet has been in our dining room for almost 30 years and was used as a liquor cabinet until recently.  The components were taken by someone long ago.  We're unable to find any catalogs or photos that are even close to what this cabinet looks like.
The cabinet measures approximately 18 inches deep, 32 inches wide, 35 inches high and has 4 interior sections (3 doors).  
Top right door opens to a diagonal opening that was for the radio.  
Top left door opens to the turntable space and still has the slide mechanism.
Bottom right held the speaker and is accessible only from the back.
Bottom left door opens to a space probably intended for storing records.
Inside the cabinet there are two papers glued on.  
The 1st paper is the UL label and mentions Farnsworth Television and Radio Corporation, Hazeltine Research Inc, American Telephone and Telegraph Company and that this is Model 35P7 using 117 volts AC, 60 cycles, 105 watts.  It also shows a diagram of the back of the radio for hooking it up to the phonograph and speaker.
The 2nd label is the Inspectors Quality Pledge and has several handwritten names and clock numbers for the individual components, cabinet, performance and final inspection.

Recently lost a Capehart of similar description in a home fire.  To describe, ours was solid cherry wood, French Provential style; double front door openings with radio, speaker on right side and slide-out turntable, room below for album storage on left side.  The cabinet style was known as "Montreal" -- Capehart-Farnsworth also had a combination TV/radio/recordplayer in this same cabinet style.  Our Capehart was purchased new, by my father, in 1955.  Hope this helps.
