In addition to the cabinet, the stanchion that holds the reproducer (and the control rod) differs between the 1A and the Opera. I'm afraid your correspondent would pay several hundred dollars for a reproduction cabinet, then create a mechanism that never existed at the time, at significant expense and waste. Someday, another collector would have a heck of a time trying to put everything right again.
You'd be doing the person (and the hobby) a favor by talking them out of this.
