I just picked up this L-door over the weekend.
I already have a very nice example, so will pass this on for what I feel is a very reasonable price.
The Good: No loose, bubbled, or missing veneer on the front, sides, or back. Very descent gold plating with bullet brake and gold needle cup. Exhibition reproducer looks to be rebuilt and new felt on the yielding turntable. Motor looks very clean and runs without issue.
THE BAD: There are a few nicks and bumps here and there. One scrape on the bottom of the left side. Crank works, but is not the original for this machine. Crank escutheon is also not correct, but works. I do not think that the gold pull for the back door is original. The lid shows some signs of minor splitting and the veneer on the inside of the lid is bubbled. I would consider a donor lid, if one showed up.
I can deliver this machine to the Wayne, NJ show in the spring for free, if paid for now.
First to say sold at $250.
Would like to find a good home for this L-Door!
Can't go lower than this!
Thanks for looking and have a blessed holiday season!

This is painful.
I want this machine so bad, just can't commit to being at Wayne this year and of course...
..other priorities.
Please someone, buy this machine so I don't have to see this ad any longer!
It's killing me.
