Congrats Paul. Looks like you have a nice restorable Graphophone. Cleaning the case with Gojo or Kotton Klenser should do wonders and parts for it should not be too hard to find.

That's a nice Eagle, as I've said before!

What's the address on the decal? I know the early 1897 decals had "Broadway & 27th St.": the later ones had the "multiple Broadway" addresses. I'm not sure when they switched to "New York - Paris", but it may have been sometime in 1899.
