The machine belongs to one of the members of the forum. He brought it to the Wayne, NJ show and had it on display at the end of my 3 tables. I think it was the Hit of the show as it was probably the nicest thing there. There are sever unique features about it.

I personally would like to see people start
actually using their Grenet wet cells to run these
machines.

The chemistry for them, to make them active, is not
very difficult to obtain.

I agree I like to see these running, and also the machines need to be played some too.

This must have been a pretty early Class M, notice the screw holes in the lower front for the attachment in the below photo.

That bracket and rail in etching appear to be for some sort of repeater mechanism, or perhaps a dictation control ?
