That's a "Mignonette." Looks nice!

George, how can one tell the difference between that and a Mignonette?

Omigosh - - I certainly had a brain fart! It is a Mignonette - - and that's what I meant to type, but somehow I came up with another French word!
My sincere apologies - - the machine is indeed a Mignonette. I had one for many years, and it beat the doors off any Victrola I ever owned.

Well, that's an intriguing statement! Can you please elaborate, George?
