The photos are good, but can you also describe how it plays? Are there any mechanical issues?

Thanks for the reply (I'll check your PM after I submit this post). I have not worked on the motor or anything, so it probably needs a good going through, but last time I played it the motor seemed just fine. The brake needs work, likely new lether as it seems to only cath the turn table at a few points and not very well. The reproducer needs rebuilt, rattles a bit as well.

As for the case itself, the support bars that would hold the lid open are missing the screws that the bars would slide on. Therefore, the lid does not stay open by itself. A screw here or there is missing and often have some rust. Must have been stored in a damp environment. The rest of the case issues should be visable. Thanks for the questions, I had focused on getting the files uploaded and forgot to give a good description.
