The Thoren's Excelda is a portable gramaphone of the 1930s whch resembled the cameras of that time.  The case is metal with a red faux-lizard, crackly finish.  The 2.5" turntable is covered with brown felt and the record is secured with the original nut that clases the case.  The leather carrying handle is broken.  The phonograph is complete with all authentic parts including 4 extra needles.

Externally the wall oven is in good shape and fires up fast, both the bottom and top elements work, every now and then you have to wiggle the bottom burner, interior light works, the timer and clock stopped working several years ago. The stove top works perfectly. the switches have all been replaced at one time or another along with some occasional rewiring from the element to the switch. still in pretty good shape cosmetically. the fridge and freezer work great and are in relatively good shape for a fifty years of everyday use. besides the normal wear and tear the only flaw is the interior light, it comes and goes. i still have the original manuals for each appliance.
