Is this a good deal?

I haven't seen many of these for sale.

Sonny,

As usual the pictures don't tell you much but that price is reasonable if it's all there and working. Looks to be in fairly good shape and that's a very rare piece.

Those 1911-1912 Lakeside phonographs were re-badged United States Talking Machines. They are pretty thin on the ground these days. If the motor is not entirely destroyed this listing represents an excellent value indeed!
