The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I have decided to put this case back up for sale.
the sides, bedplate frame, hinges etc are original, the lower mouldings are a replacement, im not sure about the upper ones, the base might be orignial, the corner columns are missing, the front and back, i am unsure, some think its a replacement, it to me looks original, but i havent seen a idelia in person before.

what evers been replaced, its been done well.

if your interested, make me a offer

no one interested??

Apparently not!

Shouldn't you be in bed at this late hour?

Alex,

Unfortunately, without the top works and motor, the cabinet has very little value, especially if it has been heavily modified. Most of the value in an Idelia is in the topworks and motor.
