I picked one of these up yesterday, (round, wooden horn). The lid supports are missing and the mechanism that keeps the tonearm up during transport needs a little work. The calf skin covering and the handle are in remarkably good condition.

Does anyone else have one? I can’t find any pictures of one that is in good condition.
