Where I would differ:
164 - made up from many different pieces. Horn support probably new cast after a Maestrophone design. Horn repainted
169 - agree good phrynis base , nice but mismatched horn
173 - same horn support a 164, new horn, as you say
175 - same horn support as 164 - recreated horn - you need to lighten the photograph to appreciate the modern case
176 - fantastic horn, but same horn support as 164 - case could have began life as a table model
178 - good HMV base, wrong horn & elbow (not HMV)
179 - in the 1st post you can make out the fake hmv logo.
181 - :-) in ebay one also sees the occasional nightstand converted to a disc player
