Not mine, but I've bought records from this seller several times and I've found him to be reliable and personable. Since this is an unusual and interesting machine, I thought I'd post a link to it here.

They are nice machines, but the motor mounts are pot metal and the two I've seen are really in bad shape. A friend of mine is trying to figure out how to re-make a motor mount for it, but the old one was so badly warped and falling apart, it's not going to be easy. The governor control is part of the motor mount and that's the real trouble with making one over.

Seller notes in the listing description that one the pot-metal motor mounts his issues...
Seems to be pretty forthcoming about the known issues with the item...

A prior owner of mine addressed it as shown. So it's possible.

Is this a "Uninversal" (brush-type) motor ?
How noisy are they ?

I don't know yet, having only recently acquired this one. It's super heavy and another heavy thing needs to get moved out to make room for it - and the storage location has no power - so it will be a little while.
I've had this storage for many years and the lack of power has never been an issue until recently, because all of my stuff runs on springs or batteries! But this Brunswick popped up at a bargain price, so what the heck.

Darned shame about he finish damage to the lid...

Bah. That's just wood, and it can be fixed. On the other hand, what if the thing had parts specific to only that model missing?
Mine has had its baroque curly-cue ornamental appliqués carefully removed from the front inset panels, perhaps by someone wanting a more modern look - and although I probably wouldn't have endevored to do that myself, I'm glad it's done!
All this talk is making me get a bit motivated to get down there with an extension cord and a variac, and light it up.

Well... somebody grabbed it for $250.
One of us ?
