JT3,
The Barzilay Furniture Co made stereo cabinets like this for years. They sold them as kits or fully assembled.
Mine was bought in 1964, as a kit I am pretty sure. I have all of the original documentation.
The top lifts up to reveal a LINN AXIS TT, in the compartment originally designed for a TT of some sort. I do not know what type of equipment this unit once held, but it was not unusual for these unit to hold very fine Tube and SS gear. Often McIntosh, Fisher, Scott and the like.
I have used this console to house many amps... starting with an MA6300/201 Combo, then a 402, then a MC240, then a Peachtree NOVA, then a Scott 299.
I think I have finally arrived at a place where I am pleased by the looks with the center door open, more than satisfied by the sound the Altec 817 A drivers produce. The Cayin amp really sounds great and I am sure can only get better with a little tube rollin'. I will be ordering an inexpensive phono stage today, so I get the the TT up and running.
