It looks like the soundbox on that "conversation piece" is crooked!So is the seller,in my opinion!
The misalignment is a dandy way to chew up your records!I'm being sarcastic.

Re: A Real "Conversational Piece" indeed
I don't normally comment on this sort of stuff, but the seller's written disclaimers (along with the lowest acceptable bid) make for an interesting character study.

Re: A Real "Conversational Piece" indeed
The repetitive disclaimer indicates that the seller has received numerous advices about this machine (probably that it looks like it was put together by a garage mechanic) and that the seller does not believe those people who think it might be a piece of junk!

And not to mentioned, a hodgepodge that is beyond wildly overpriced.

Re: A Real "Conversational Piece" indeed
