All I can say for sure is that the upright version did not have the access door to the motor for service. This machine was apparently from 1927 when it was offered along with the two Edisonics. The reason I say this is becaus it came equiped with an Edisonic, or by then, the new "Standard" reproducer. I swapped out the reproducer with another nice nickel plated one and kept the Edisonic. I sold the machine shortly afterward...the case was so ho-hum. I had gone to service a player piano I had rebuilt for a guy that owned a car dealership in a town nearby and say the most pristine C-19 imagineable. He said he had recently bought it still crated at an old furniture store. I made a beeline there. There were two machines still crated and one was badly water damaged from a leaky roof so I took the one in good condition. The other I found out later was a C-150 in oak. I did also come away with a bunch of new stylus bars and about 100 NOS Diamond Discs including six Long Plays. I have to say it was a real thrill to open up the LU machine though. It was packed like a mummy. Bruce
