This weekend is your chance to own a piece of Sun Studio. Sort of.

The furniture and set from the canceled “Sun Records” television series is up for grabs through Monday afternoon.

A trove of furniture, vintage clothing, knickknack­s, musical instrument­s — basically, anything and everything dating to the period of rock ‘n’ roll’s birth at Sam Phillips’ Sun Studio on Union Avenue — is for the taking.

The warehouse sale, hosted by local producer Martin Lane, is at the old auto inspection station downtown, 590 Washington Ave.

“Lots of amazing finds and cool stuff,” says the Facebook post announcing the sale. A full descriptio­n of the sale, complete with tons of photos, is available at estatesale­s.net.

Buyers must bring their own bags and packing materials, and employees are not responsibl­e for moving, packing or loading purchases.

Hours of the sale are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday through Monday.

“Sun Records” ran for one season, an eight-episode run from February through April 2017, on CMT.

The show, which served as a leadin to the network’s signature “Nashville” series, was set at Sun Studio during the early days of rock ‘n’ roll. Drake Milligan played Elvis.

The show was envisioned originally as a three-night event but morphed into a limited-run series, Jayson Dinsmore, CMT’s head of developmen­t, told savingcoun­trymusic.com.
