Wow!!can't say that I have ever seen anything resembling this before. What a neat item, if you can pick it up for a song, and fix it up it would be quite a conversation piece indeed for a Phonograph collector. The tone arm looks like it was from one of those cheap off brand Dept. Store machines that were so prevelant in the late teens.

Now I know what happened to all of those reed organ cases that went unused after the playerpianos and phonographs came on the scene.
