What a monstrosity. Though it is with some shame that I admit I like the plaque on the front.

Made me feel a bit sorry for the seller actually, especially the bit about the stone and the cat. This was also the first time I've seen a molded plastic platter on one of these. In the '60s and early '70s, cheap generic phono motor assemblies (and tone arms) were sold for replacement and fabrication purposes, so it appear to go with the electric motor. This one is right up there with the transparent cabinet Crapophone that appeared during the past year. It's almost painful to even look at the images.

You can still make out the Patent mark.?The brass bell is in very decent shape, the only drawback being one very small 1/16" hole at the top edge where someone probably hung it from a makeshift crane. There is, however, enough brass material around this hole that a brass instrument repair person could close the hole.? I am asking $90 plus shipping. I have another horn too, all complete, very tarnished bell, bell has a few dings, $120 for that one. Pics are available if you want to email me offline. I also have a brass key for an early Edison A-250 or a Brunswick phonograph, this is the oval headed key with to opposing curved figures in it. Pics alw available, $55.00.
