In my mind's eye I envision something akin to a cuckcoo clock.

Haha,
I am so excited but I have a bad feeling about the weather getting to it or having gotten to it already since it has been raining for 3 days.

The Gothic scares me, lol...

Here it is folks, 5 hours of work but it is looking goooood!
Reproducer says Savoy fonograph. It’s got a desk built in too... How cool is that. I have the original key and found a statue in the lower area stuck in back. There was also a very old fountain pen, records, and a glass dish. I need to find room for this one... I also need some type of reference to make a new front panel with the grill.

The first picture is the message I received from a guy I bought from over 2 years ago. Then it was all down hill, lol
