CDM Furniture

[Susan Kintscher (Lineker)]

Here is one of the few pieces of furniture, I inherited from my folks when they left town.  I had it sanded, as i wasn't to fond of the dark wood, then had crayfish boats sandblasted on the doors (a chap in Lüderitz did it for me) and I replaced the feet.  Won't say that it was CDM furniture..

Top;        CDM lounge  1961
Middle;     CDM lounge 1970.      Check out the reel to reel in the back ground my mom taped many a tape on there for the guys going to the border. That would be Alfred with the old S.A. flag.
Bottom:    CDM lounge 1979.     Ted Coffin, Irene(my sister) Chantelle Flouret and my dad. My son Glen's christining

[Michael Alexander]

Whats a reel tape thingy?

[barb (Fry)]

what about these
TOP me in the garden of 72-5 must be about 1967
bottom on a 3 seater I don't remember, but the radio we had to listen to 1pm news and 7 pm news in silence every day and night

[barb (Fry)]

the reel to reel tape recording device, before your time Mike ?

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

Was very cool, reel to reel taped music. Before cassettes (now ask what cassettes are). Even so the quality of music was better on the reel to reel. My mom always made tapes for the guys going to the border,ask Richard he knows these things better than me.

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

Oh my hat we also had a radio like that.

[Barbara Eia (Brownless)]

I have 2 reel to reel tapes that belong to my father. Will be worth quite a bit in a few years

[barb (Fry)]

maybe they were company issue....................

reel to reel, hours and hours of music, I'm sure georgswa had one........... like a old fashioned ipod ?
my German neighbour in Grahamstown had one (1995) very retro - I'd never seen one before then.  Too techno for us Fry's

[Barbara Eia (Brownless)]

we never had CDM furniture in our house my folks brought there own furniture from Rhodesia

[barb (Fry)]

larnies hey, gosh you're own furniture.
My mother took her CDM furniture with her when she retired, bless her.  She has replaced it now though.

There were some classic pieces especially late 60's.  the stuff in the 70's not so cool.

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

Thats why people were friends with me had a cool sound system.

Barbara then you must have only arrived after the town opened.
