Neat machine, it has the mid to late 1920's look/vibe to it.... I like that price, too... ;)

That looks to be the "President" model, as shown in the 1927 Sears Catalog posted here:

There's quite a bit of information about the Sears Tru-Phonic phonographs on this forum.

SEE: https://www.google.com/search?as_q=site ... type=&tbs=

Hope this helps.
