Is there a medallion stating the model number and the serial number of a Columbia Viva Tonal model 810, also does it have an automatic stop. I would appreciate it very much, for the information.

There is no identification plaque of the 810, other than the Viva tonal decal on the under side of the lid. It is pretty conspicuous in its enormity, though, a plaque would be as redundant as an ELEPHANT sign hung on the pachiderm's tusks. It has an auto stop, the early type, that needs to be adjusted manually before playing the disc.
