I don't recall if you told the serial number in your original post. Yours does have the earlier ID plate, so it would suggest to me that it's earlier than mine.
I'll have to look at a video I made of mine playing, but I think that the needle cups are on the LH side of the playing compartment. Could be wrong, of course. Miune has a decal in the lid from J.L. Hudson's Piano Store. Hudson's was THE store to buy things from, and the largest one in Michigan. The store's now gone, the name is gone; Hudson's is just a memory to us oldsters here, so the decal has a stronger meaning for many of us. I'll bet you're still doing handsprings around the block over this find.
