*NO Shipping! Pick up or Buyer arranged transport only!**This impressive machine in its mahogany Louis XV inspired design cabinet has been professionally conserved and refinished as needed. Presents well and is in very good overall condition. Cabinet features elaborate carvings as well as a nicely intact grill. Front grill is nearly perfect with one tiny crack which is insignificant and barely visible. The large pull out record storage drawer has its original hardware and dividers. Retains old elaborate cabinet key however is not an Edison and does not function correctly. The beautifully refinished cabinet has a few minor blemishes consisting of a slight shrinkage crack and lifting near the front left of the top cover as well as a minor blister on the lower left side near the rear. Please note these defects are minor and are of little significance. The mechanism has the correct early style reproducer with good gold finish on both the reproducer and horn elbow. The bed plate is of the earlier style and has its original black paint, pinstripe and decals and is in good overall condition with minor wear on the pinstriping. Original winding crank, machine cranks, runs and plays. Nice example of a hard to find machine.
