I don't see evidence of the 2&4 shift on the left side so it's a two minute machine. (so don't play the four minute Blue Amberol that's shown in the photo.).

4” mandrel is the clue. BF has a 6” mandrel.
Yes, exactly. The placement of the cylinder on the mandrel threw me off. I should have realized it was hanging off the mandrel end by a good amount.
