Can you be sure that the case is correct and original to the machine? Just a thought!
the base transfer is very odd shouldn't be square on such a machine and the base is very crude and has clunky feet , doesn't really look that good , the same transfer is on the other machine and again clunky feet , Barcelona is a problem for machines such as this as the Banus Banus family were producing remakes / remodels for 70 years !

Barcelona is where the "Compagnia Francesa del Gramophone" had its headquarters, as you can see on the attached pictures. I have also attached some pictures taken from the book of Joan Trius, who is a Spanish gramophone collector. As you can see, there are similar machines.
Then of course my gramophone may be a fake, but I rely on reliable information to arrive at such a judgment.
Thanks,
