Frank Piasecki's PA-97 Helistat Heavy Lifter. A blimp with four Sikorsky H-34 helicopters mounted to a skeletal tubular frame. The design was flawed from the beginning and ground resonance separated three of the helicopters from their mounting points sending the vehicle crashing into the ground killing one of the five pilots onboard.

We had one of those. On the LH side where the lamp is setting, on ours the top opened up and that was where records were stored. If I remember correctly it was a Zenith.

Those furniture stereos / television cabinet were nice, but ridiculously heavy.
Our stereo had a big sound that would fill the house.
