This is a very nice alloriginal example with original finish oak case, copper oxidized carrying handle, original crank, aluminum tone arm, and reproducer. and a very nice 16″ all brass horn with a 8.875″ bell. Measures 11″ wide, 11″ deep, and 14.5″ tall to the top of the horn. From the Allen Koenigsberg collection.
