I don't know when the fancy base was first available, but this model B carries a pretty early serial number. I also recall reading the ID tag was only supplied when originally purchased with a cabinet. If true, it would seem odd that this base and machine have been together since new. The patina of the machine also doesn't appear to match the base. Whether it is an original or reproduction these fancy bases make a nice display, however my leaning from the photos is the base a reproduction. David
