Not a XIII, but an early XIV. Very nice and part of the reason I like the XIII, because it resembles this beautiful machine.

Quoted from the listing, "A fine piece of history that tells a story!"

Maybe if we asked nicely, it could tell us where the motor, etc. went. :-)

I'm not checking Craigslist very often these days because I'm afraid I'll end up buying something, but I saw this when it went up last weekend and briefly considered it as a possible restoration. It is a beautiful cabinet. But look closely and you'll see that not only has it been gutted, but some severe butchery done, too. There's nothing left to put a tone arm, horn or motorboard into:
