Busy Bee?
I brought this phonograph home today. It has all the looks of a Busy Bee but there doesn't seem to be any sign of ever having a decal. Also, the rectangular slug has been removed from the turntable. The slug was the style with two little screws holding it on. I have also seen other turntables where the rectangular slug was part of the casting. It is also missing the cast horn cradle. The motor runs pretty well. I have never seen one of these without the Busy Bee decal. Were these available without the decal? This will most likely be available at the Midwest Show in Schaumburg, Illinois coming up in a few weeks.

Re: Busy Bee?
The 2nd picture has a discoloration in the exact size and shape of the proper decal. Is it more visible in the picture than in real life? It wouldn't be the first time that's happened.
