Price is a little dear, but he might be willing to negotiate?

is this the same machine that someone in NJ was posting about not too long ago, asking for information about it after a client brought it to him for restoration and repair - he was encouraging her to refinish it, people responding to his post here were advising against that, he got offended and stopped posting...?

I remember that guy, he called us all "a bunch of selfish know it alls” and disappeared. Here is the thread you are thinking of:

I don’t think it is the same exact phonograph, I was comparing the unique wear pattern on the lid decal between the two pictures and they don’t match up.
