After a little light cleaning.The machine runs smooth and silent.The box also cleaned up good.just a little loss on one side.

Nice job on the cleanup! :D Do those just play the special small records or
could you conceivably play a standard 78?

Well this little powerhouse of a machine can play 12" records.It was a well made machine and solid as it is over 5 pounds in weight.Here is a little (pun intended) video I made playing a little 5" record "Those Charlie Chaplin Feet".
