Talk about rare... When was the last time you saw a machine like this? It's the super hard to find version with the crank under the turntable... As beautiful as it is, there is one drawback... It will be a needle in a haystack search to find the matching cabinet...

People can have real history--but they prefer fiction instead.

Now, why don't people part out stuff like THIS??? One of these days we're going to see a parted-out Crapohone with this description:

"Authentic wooden Victor Columbia Edisonic horn bell with sound control door"
