It's a shame the museum hasn't taken the time to extract the reproducer throat from the horn and re-attach it. Such a gorgeous machine!

WOW! I hadn't seen high quality photos yet!!! Any way to replace the gold plating?

According to the October 1910 catalog, a Gold plated Triumph with a Mahogany cabinet and Cygnet horn would have cost the buyer $140. Adjusted for inflation that is $3592.87 today! Like buying a brand new desktop Mac.

Apparently there are a few ways to replace the gold but I have decided to leave the machine as is and leave any sort of re-gilding to someone else.

Now on eBay...
