Oh, dear! Wrong motor, wrong brake, wrong speed control, wrong soundbox (although that is at least HMV!) cabinet very tatty. Is it worth bothering with at any price, let alone the one being asked?

[Steve]

You obviously missed the refinished cabinet and replaced grille cloth!

Worth bothering with? Not at THAT price, even though it is super rare.

[doublemike]

Wrong turntable too, I suppose (rounded edges...?!?).

Yes I did, Steve! I also missed the needle clip doing duty as one of the winding handle clips in the lid.
So the only original parts are the arm and the dodgy cabinet? Someone ought to tell him, but it ain't gonna be me!

hmm, soundbox at the wrong angle, tonearm on the wrong side of the record, playing a LP, made up of almost entirely replaced parts... something tells me he doesnt know alot about it

The good parts probably ended up in a Crapophone, and then this was cobbed together.
