Steve, thanks for the link! I can see the machine isn’t in the best condition. The horn has a few typical breaks.

Yes, and no plating left on any of the metal parts. The horn and elbow have been fused together by an instrument repairer apparently. The horn has multiple splits in it but the soundbox is a later replacement and the varnish looks very thin on the cabinet.

Still, the horn appears better than most.

Cabinet of the machine looks to be very poorly refinished.

It does, I agree.
