Description

This has many records and all parts including locks, keys, changeable head for diamond needle and 78 RPM needle, Duncan Stop (not connected right now), needle grease, all serial numbers and parts attached including papers, original finish and all original parts. The cloth speaker cover was torn so that has been replaced with new speaker cover fabric ordered from repair company. Excellent condition. Plays both 78 RPM and Diamond needle records which are in two drawers of cabinet. Has owners name on one of the records. Purchased by my family from original owner in 1970. Would like to know an approximate value.
