The body of the stereo cabinet is lacquered wood, with removable side speakers. The base is cast aluminum on castors, so it can be moved. It was fabricated in Italy by Brionvega. It has a radio as well as turntable. Brionvega is an Italian electronics company, established in Milan in 1945 (as B.P.M. Company, renamed Brionvega in 1960), now located in Pordenone, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy. The company is known for the sleek design of their audio and TV consumer products.
