Never heard of one and never seen it until just now - all I can say is whoa!!!

I really dont know much about these, but might it be a "frankenphone" of sorts?
If it's really a complete machine, WOW!

Inigo's not gonna like it...

Interesting white marble top, or so it looks like it.
The support for the horn looks a little utilitarian, just a round piece of steel.

What really bothers me is the ornate carving on the molding.
It would have been easy enough to have the pattern even by making the cabinet long, or short enough so the pattern isn't cut off and too have it meet up with itself properly.
A very grade 11 woodworking mistake, considering the amount of money this would of cost in its day, I would not have accepted that.
The top dimensions could have been left the same to accommodate the turntable size.

I can't recall the model number but it looks genuine to me. Its not white marble, the top is nickel plated motor-plate which has gone very dull with age.

The drawer unit alone is incredibly rare and worth as much (if not more) than the machine. I say this without even checking the link out.

PS - just looked. I think it's a very rare No. 7 and 100% genuine. The drawer unit is worth as much as the machine but not included in the sale so its a moot point.

Yes.. . too high tt!

Steve, I couldn't have said it better. Absolutely fantastic, high end rare items. The sellers seems to be offering many nice pieces. Certainly knows his stuff.

wish it were mine and the record case 100% right
