Hi Steve,Thanks for the info. It is a Model N - serial #1407 and has a 2/4 
Minute stylus. I bought it from a long-time collector who had completely 
rebuilt it and I was amazed at the sound volume and quality. I will take a pic 
of it and post it or send it directly to you, if you prefer. It might take a 
day or two to upload it.Curt
