Is it possible that it really works? The seller says it does.

I would bet it works just fine.  Orville White, a gifted machinist collector 
in Portland, Oregon, once saw an ad in a local paper for an "Emerson Diamond 
Disk Victroler" (sic) and that gave him an idea.  He used a Graphophone base, 
an Amberola V works, and an early radio cygnet horn to make the mutt.  It 
played very well and was a hoot to behold the reaction of collectors when first 
encountering it.  I don't know where it went when he passed away but someone got 
a real conversation piece.
