    Sort of. Hope someone can come up with an ID as I may make this my final project. I said that before but wound up restoring an Edison B-19 that was in terrible condition. Coming up on 74 next month and thought if this is a cannibalized Columbia or Standard I just may be able to come up with the parts. Thanks for the reply Leo.

    The only other clue I have to what this cabinet belongs to is the two holes on top which secured the top to the base.

        It is what Leo says it is, but may have had a wooden grill rather than louvers. The first phonograph I ever had was one like the empty case you have.

        My guess would be a Columbia made client machine.
