This is it. I am thinking it is an early version with that decal on it, because it is the first inside horn tabletop machine made by Columbia. There are two more versions later - one like this with corner columns and one closer to the classic 'Favorite' model, and both of those have the Grafonola decal. Thanks for the info on the one knob, I will try to find something that is close to a match.

In fact, I saw an Elite on Ebay fairly recently with a decal like yours and wondered about it. Is this that same machine? --RR >From: John Robles >Reply-To: Antique Phonograph List >To: phono-l at oldcrank.org >Subject: [Phono-L] COlumbia Elite help! >Date: 13 Apr 2007 02:39:49 -0700 > >COlumbia Elite help! >Hi all >I thought I had uploaded this message before but I haven't seen it yet, so >here goes!
