Just bought Edison B-80 with rare record cabinet

I just bought this Edison B-80 early DD machine with a rare record cabinet that is somewhat of a mystery to me. I've never seen a B-80 record cabinet with cabriole legs before. Since the finishes don't match, is it possible that the cabinet was stripped of its original finish in some previous attempt to refinish both parts, but the project was never finished? I don't think the cabinet is just a generic record cabinet, as it has the same Gothic design, and it has the curved corners that match the B-80's exactly. If the Pooley Furniture Co. made the B-80 cabinets, did they also make the record cabinets? Any comments or ideas? Marc.
