Any history or age for a Convertogram model 27 record player cabinet/plinth.

Also has 'National' record player logo on the inside. Certainly home to a Garrard 301 at some stage, the motor board looks professional and the veneer matches the inside of the lid.

While it will not be getting a 301, it's in fair condition so I'll look for something period to put in there.

TD&B were a very large national Wholesaler and sold their own record players branded National or Meritone. I would be surprised though if they made an "add-on" deck that would use a 301?
