It is a nice looking machine, but it could use a bit of TLC/cosmetic-restoration work.

I don't like the grill cloth which is a bit more vibrant than the original probably was.

There seems to have been two sound boxes for Cheney machines, one for laterally cut disks and one for vertically cut. Whether the two were stock issue with all machines, I do not know.

The only other image I can find of a similar/identical model is a ghost left by an ancient EBay listing. The ragged and probably original grill cloth is a bit more subdued.
