Seems to be the same machine on YouTube posted 12 years ago. Looked ratty back then and not much improved since (except for the top/exterior of the lid has been stripped). Still, a cool machine.

I'm kind of hoping the seller parts it out.

That's an A-80.
They don't turn up nearly as often as the B-80.

Thanks, George. That makes me respect it more as it's scarcer than the B-80. I did notice that the wood framing around the turntable has a different configuration of openings for the sound.

You bet. The shape of the rear grille openings is the easiest way to tell.
