Wow, someone should grab that, looks like it has the fancy and expensive original key as well as the record albums and papers.

There are lots of extras, a repeater gizmo, instructions, original brochures, etc. Not counting the machine, the set of albums and extras are easily worth $300. Basically, you will be paying a little over $100 for the machine. Plus the records and the box.

Do you actually see a key? I might be blind, but I don't...

The lower keyhole appears to not be empty.

There is a key in the lower escutcheon. I can't tell if it is a "V" key or a generic one.

Yes it is a "V" key. I bought the machine Saturday, only paid $250 for it. Taking the motor to work today to clean and grease it. Might have a bad spring. Anyone have any to sell?

Yep. $250 and out the door it went. It now has a happy home in Michigan.
But it does need a main spring. Anyone have one to sell?
