The arm doesn't look complete, and I can't see a sound box. Top of ad says $70, text says $100 OBO. It's been listed for 11 weeks. More details needed!

I went to see this today. The tone arm is missing along with the needle cups.
The motor and crank are present, though the crank appeared longer than what you'd expect to see.
The cabinet is very nice. No bad scratches or damage, just a dull slightly alligatored finish. Would clean up well.
If anyone has the mechanism and needs a better cabinet this could be a good choice.

Oh you didn’t get it? :cry:

Would your parts be hard to get? I wouldn’t think so right?

Parts could certainly be gotten I'm sure, but I'm not prepared for a project machine right now!
Many thanks for the lead though-it was a pleasant trip on a nice spring day!

I picked up this oak version last year at an auction. I like it because it isn't the typical 2 door record storage. Instead it is a single door pull out that tilts down and has record dividers in it. They are nice machines.
