Looks like a Model 75, not a bad little machine.

Looks like an earlier model without a convertible arm - this would only play vertical cut discs.

I'd pick this up if it were a little closer- it's 3 hours from me & that's a full day and a tank of gas.

Yes, the 75s are vertical only, unless an adopter comes with it. I was lucky that one was with it when I bought mine.

By the way, from what I read the change over to the swivel system to play both types took place some time in 1917.

Not sure what's so bad about it, except what appears to be the bottom of the cabinet sitting on the floor. Same situation as estott: 145 miles each way... plus the fact that there's a Victrola & a Viva-Tonal already in the car !
