It's gone through at least three times now without receiving a bid and is up for a fourth (or more). The last time, the seller dropped the opening bid by $25 or so; still nothin'. If it weren't "pickup only in Benton, Louisiana," 1,200 miles away (that's 1,900 km+, for our Metric System friends), I'd be sorely tempted, although I need another diamond disc machine even less than another hole in the head. Note that it will need some cabinet work: the lid has a pronounced case of Flower Pot Syndrome, the door appears to be missing a little piece of inlay, and the grille is damaged, too. I assume the latter could be swapped out for a perfect mahogany grille from any common, garden variety S-19?

No, the Inlaid Sheratons are substantially larger than the S-19s.

What was the model designation for the inlaid sheraton that had the violin marquetry on the record drawer? Is it known how many examples of that model variant exist?
