I'm pretty new to all this, but this didn't seem like too bad of a deal:

Looks to be an Amberola 30 in the "Drop in" cabinet. These don't show up every day...

Amberola 30 in a Babson Bros. cabinet. As mentioned these are fairly scarce. The seller has clearly done some research and set a price accordingly. With the 70 cylinders (presuming most are in good playing condition but one has completely missing plaster - ouch!) and missing the top front grille and questionable (whether original) front grille the price is so-so but definitely not one that will sell it instantly to an aggressive buyer/collector IMHO.
