This Columbia disc gramophone, bed plate model: A K 1564 5 , , serial number: 772920, was missing a piece of
corner trim so we had one custom fabricated by a local cabinet maker. It can be seen in several of the pictures
It's a really nice fit however we did not have it stained, clear-coated or glued in pla...ce as we wanted to leave that up to the new owner
if they want to make the modification permanent.
The cabinet measures 12 7/8" x 7 1/2"
The corner trim aside; the cabinet is in beautiful condition with no nicks, chips or scrapes.
other than some very minor wear near the horn arm/bracket attachment point.
The motor is a single spring and is functioning properly as is the RPM adjustment and turntable brake lever.
It has a Columbia brand reproducer that's in great condition and functioning perfectly.
The horn has several small dings and one dent also seen in either pictures or video.
