The cabinet is quite different from my songbird Puck, much lower base, different shape molding, very out-of-character carrying handle, and latches on the ends instead of the sides. It looks way too shiny and new, especially considering the slightly rough condition of the casting and horn. Best regards, Rene Rondeau Thanks Rene, I agree with your comments. I just thought I might be crazy. That case and it's hardware just didn't seem the same vintage as the mechanism. Too bad. It looks like a very nice machine. --Art **************************************See AOL's top rated recipes (http://food.aol.com/top-rated-recipes?NCID=aoltop00030000000004)
