Picked a parts machine (AEolian floor model). Other than the brass regulator drive gear being stripped (on the main spindle, not the worm gear) it appears in decent shape. The units 2 barrel springs do wind up and runs out of control when released (I made sure that it didn't engage the regulator worm gear). The regulator is free and spins (by hand). It has the crank, board, speed control (rusted) and the auto-break in place. Repairable if you have that one gear (wish I had one). If nothing else least there are nice parts that are salvageable.
I thought to put it up for offers before I put it on EBay.
Also plan on listing the Grill, doors, horn, turntable, lid support, lid, hinges, needle cups, etc. (The arm is broken - no surprise)
I can send pictures if interested.

Missing part of a leg, missing bottom, missing 2 casters, missing Graduola end, broken tone arm, veneer on back and sides missing or pealing, top missing some veneer, and of course the motor problem. Really in bad shape, too much to make it worth it. Figure the doors, grill, horn, hardware,and maybe the top might be worth something to someone. The only reason I really bothered to pick it up was I drove an hour in a snow storm and wanted to come home with something.
