What a shame what a shame

I was looking at one of these sale sites and look what I found what a mess look at the pictures closely. I texted the woman and asked if all the original parts are there she thinks so. O God this needs rescuing.

Is the horn still there.??How was this amplified ??Any idea. It looks nice but would still take some bucks to restore.If it was cheap it would be worth it. Tom B

If she gave it to you, you would have to spend a lot of time, not to mention hundreds of dollars in parts to restore it back to original... At that point, you would have a not so popular console Victrola worth a couple of hundred dollars... not worth looking at, IMO... OR you could fix the electric turntable (again several hundred dollars and a lot of time) and end up with a worthless hybrid...

If it's any help, I've got a horn that will probably match this, should you need it. Everything else looks to be there, and parts for this would be easy to come by. I agree with Curt, but sometimes I can't help myself when it comes to a good project!

Even if it was intact this is not a popular machine with collectors- the cheapest machine of an awkward line.

If the motor is complete that is the bottom of the machine and you have a reproducer there and maybe the crank is hidden in there somewhere and it was Free I think you could come out ahead. It is the hump back design which was an unpopular machine but people may be repurposing them so they could become a little more valuable maybe 5 or 10 dollars. If you want a project to work on that would be a good one. It comes wit some nice matching albums.. Tom B
