The Ebay auction says the phonograph is actually a Columbia model 25 so I'm pretty sure it has had the motor and turntable changed out. I notice ther are no pictures of the crank side. It is also listed on Florida CL.

The cabinet is from a Parlophone coin-op. The top has probably been re-veneered to hide the fact that new holes have been drilled for an replacement motor. The horn support is also not original to this cabinet.
