That's what the "PM" & "Email" icons are for.

Multiple clues indicate you might be near me Milos. Are you in CZ?

Hello, I am from Serbia. Sorry for not writing more info, I am new here still catching up. Transport can be arranged, I have my own van. I have more photos of it, if you provide me with an email I will send you all. Machine was bought couple of months ago and my plan is to restore it completely. It can be sold in this condition of course or after restoration.

For all of you interested, I am pretty sure it can be also sent via post or even air mail.

Hello!
This is as already written, an Electrola 189A record player in the more common oak version , sold as model "favorite" . The motor was made by "Perpetuum-Ebner". The "A" means "all-current", ie. ac and dc. It was built from 1938 to 40. (This all-current version cost 244 Reichsmark.)

If the player is fully functional, he is worth 150 - 250 €. At this price, however, the wood must be perfectly preserved, and the metal parts must not have rust. Unfortunately, the engine of this model is made of a zinc-alloy. This alloy ages quickly, cracks and swells up (like some Soundboxes...)
Therefore, the engines are often broken or damaged.

Would it be possible to get a few more detail pictures of this player?
I already had several versions of this model, with more pictures I could judge it maybe more accurately.

Greetings from Germany!:)

Can you provide me with an email? I can't upload multiple photos from phone

Here are more photos.
