The most difficult part to replace is the bakelite horn, which is not shown in the photos. There is also a screw-on record stabilizer, that you can see drawn on the paper guide and required to keep the disc in place while playing. The machine also came with a tin needle box, which is scarce, and a leather carrying case. So judging from the photo a lot of parts could be missing. Besides, there are modern reproductions made in India that look quite similar to the originals, certainly from these bad photos we cannot discern a copy from an original.
