Re: Columbia Regent Desk Mason MI - $20
Well, it is in the car (with a few inches to spare). I was able to open the lid and the phonograph works and tonearm are still there 
. I have not checked out the drawers to see if the crank is present, but at that price I can't complain if it is not there. All the trim for the feet are present but will need reglued. My only worry is where am I going to put it in the house. It is huge!

I own one similar to that and yes they take up some space. You need to rearrange your space so you can put some things on top so it doesn't take up too much space.
