I've owned this for about 25 years and have never tried to use it. All of the parts appear to be functioning as they should but I have no idea how it works. I really don't see myself needing to keep it as I will likely never use it. So if you can use this and would like it here you go. 
The original nickel plating is excellent on this and I doubt it's been used much if ever. A hard to find early disc phonograph accessory. PM, PayPal Friends or check, USPS shipping included to USA address. International shipping at cost. Thanks.

I could have sworn there was a YT video about this one, but I can't find it.
From what I can see, after placing the record on the turntable, you put the central post over the spindle, set the tabs for the first and last grooves, start the machine, and set the needle down. When it hits the tab at the last groove, a pin engages a spiral groove inside the post. This lifts the reproducer up, which then slides down to hit the other tab, disengaging the spiral groove and setting the reproducer back down at the beginning again. Probably not as brutal on records as some other repeaters.

These are so cool. I'm glad some of these survived and people didn't just throw them away throughout the years not knowing what they were.

There are no obvious parts missing, it looks complete. It doesn't use the roller attachment for the reproducer like other varieties that are similar... Just check to see if the spiral insert in the tube that fits onto the spindle rotates freely.

Thanks Curt. It looks complete to me as well. I'm hoping to test it out on one of my disc phonographs when I get a chance in the near future to see how it performs. Should be fun.
