Looks like a 10-50 / 51
If I were close I'd have it! Can't believe it's been up for 29 days.

Looks in rough shape as far as the finish goes, but possibly complete? The changing arm is there, and isn't that the first thing to disappear on one of these? I don't know squat about this model, except that the cabinet is magnificent, and as far as Electrolas go, it seems to have plenty of fans. It does look like a good deal. Maybe it's just that these are said to be about as easy to move as a piano. Hope someone is able to restore it. The seller clearly doesn't care if it's gutted, just trying to move it out for some fast cash.

Definitely not a 10-51, there's no power lamp at the bottom center, as also would be seen on the 9-55, 9-40, and 8-60 (and... 9-16, 9-18, 12-15...).
I see there are some extra controls on the right side of the record changer's wooden front panel. Maybe was converted to electrically amplify???
Not sure but appears to be on concrete. To me, a warning sign to be looked into. I prefer machines kept indoors.
I have bought three indoor 10-50s from the Denver area, all a month apart (one with serial #509). Wish I knew another one was going to become available before I made each trip. Though I do love the drive between there and Vegas on 70 along the Colorado River and the mile long trains, both thundering by. Seen up super close from a number of the Rest Areas. From what I have seen, Denver and Sourhern California were the major hot spots for these large Victor machines.
