This is about 5' tall and it is in allmost mint condition. It has all of its original parts. it has never been worked on and rarely played but it does work and works well. the top lid has "Edison" inlayed in the wood. I do believe this is cherrywood. it has a brass arm to play the discs with and moves with ease. it has the original needle. it has an arm that sticks out from the right side to wind it, it also moves with ease. the compartment with the speaker(not the right word) is all original. The cover still has the original fabric it is worn and tattered but time takes its toll on everything. inside this compartment it has a paper sticker with "factory 19" on it. the bottom compartment has two shelves with 36 discs on each. it has all the discs in it with the paper sleeves will get a list of them all. has a few scratches and one lite chunk out of the back left corner half way up unfortunately. but all in all a beautiful piece. very well taken care of.
