I went back and re-read the beginning of this thread, and George P. explains what he did.
"Here's the story: Fran's cabinet originally had a C-250 mechanism with a Duncan stop and a Long Play Attachment. I always wanted a C-250 in oak so for years I searched for a nice empty oak cabinet (I wanted to keep the mechanism with the Duncan stop and Long Play Attachment). Once in a while I'd find an oak C-19 with the later record shelves. but a C-250 mechanism in it would not be an historically accurate combination. Then around 2006 I finally found a nice oak C-19 in the earlier C-250-type cabinet. I carefully examined the mahogany and oak cabinets and found them to be identical, so I switched mechanisms and data plates.
The original finish on Fran's mahogany cabinet is so nice, I resisted selling it for years. I considered displaying both mahogany and oak models side-by-side, but I just don't have the space, so this nice mahogany cabinet with C-19 mechanism sat in my basement for the past 8 years.
Kind of crazy. Then, about 6 years later I bought another C-250 in a so-so cabinet (I wanted the records). I have given Fran the option of switching out his C-19 mechanism/data plate for this C-250 mechanism/data plate, and he's thinking about it."
Now it makes sense, That's why Fran's C-19 is a C-19 mechanism and C-19 ID Dataplate in a C-250 Cabinet... George P. did a switcheroo....!...lol.. George P. Needed a C-250 mechanism...for an Oak C-250 Project....lol..
