My flea market three legged A-100

[briankeith]

One leg is missing - all the others have been cut down for some reason - bottom shelf is gone - lid is fine - cabinet is fine - grille is perfect but missing the cloth - but it was only $25.00 (he was asking $40.00) and it plays quite well, no thumping, good reproducer, , nice crank no rust, good original turntable felt. So now what? Part it out? Find another cabinet? Leave it as is?

Other than the leg problems its seams a nice machine .

What I would possibly do is have the lost leg made up and presumably if it cant be fitted securely as it is than you could fit a shelf to the bottom of the legs which projects past them all round and then add short extra legs or feet on the bottom .

What does an unspoiled one look like ?

I would look for a good cabinet. To get a leg, shelf, etc, made, would cost more than the machine is worth. I think it was a poor design. The machine is too top heavy to support the mechanism. The legs are too spindly and weak. I have sen many of these A-100's "converted" into table top machines. You'll find a good cabinet someday.

Or use 4 more orange Home Depot buckets Harvy

It's not proper but I would just saw the legs off nicely and use as a tabletop.

I think Harvey Kravitz is right - big heavy machine supported by skinny little legs, how did they ever survive shipping to the jobbers is beyond me

It is too bad that you are so far away. I have an oak cabinet that I would give you.

Cut 'em off and use it until you find a cabinet you like...

Curt,

I agree. This was the model that the Edison DD Book by Frow referred to as the "Amputee" model. The legs were broken easily in shipping and many of the dealers just sawed off the legs anyways.

The legs are ugly anyway...
