Looks like a frankenphono to me. It might have an old motor. Look at the center spindle with a slot in it.

The Oxford Jr. is suppose to be actually a Columbia Model AP Cylinder type Graphophone at least that is what shows up in my Sears 1908 Catalogue. The Machine on Ebay even has a round Identifying plate with a patent date of 1904, I don't believe Sears used the Oxford name for its machines and records until a few years later. Also look at the name on the reproducer, it is not Columbia. Are we looking at some sort of weird Craponola here??
