right half with door open, notice wood carving chip from front grille is stored for a possible fix


cabinet top open, standard diamond disc motor (working) and

a rare and desirable logo


a not so desirable cabinet top

Just wondering why this one would have been offered without the long play gearing and with the single spring motor? I did not know they came that way? Was this perhaps an Edison cobble job toward the end of the production run?

I would guess the way you described is NOT how this machine came from the factory, but it is how it came into my posession. This is obviously a project machine for someone interested.
