that shade and frame definitely appear to be reproductions, but that's typical of most modernolas you'll find, at least in my experience... at least the style on this one seems appropriate. otherwise, this is one of the nicest, cleanest examples I've seen, and that walnut appears to be in exceptional condition. the tonearm and reproducer are completely right. and the albums... I've never really been that much of a completist, but they can be found. as is too commonly said, if this were any closer to me...

I found this old picture of one I had that was 100% original. This is an old picture, but you can see the shade.

And, a set of the albums just sold on eBay for not too much $87 plus $24 shipping). Looks nice to me and the albums can be found.
