A sadly terse, yet accurate description.

Is that a reproduction decal under the lid? Something just looks off - not to mention the later turntable mod.

Decal is original, that's the way they happen to look. The original finish is naturally kind of dull (satin?) while the decal is smooth (glossy?) and for whatever reason making the finish under the decal look dark compared to the surrounding finish.

If anyone is interested in a proper 8-9, I have one for sale. It's in the San Francisco bay area. Send me a PM for details.

Does it still have the horn? If so then all one might need would be the motorboard and turntable,yes?
