Vintage Antique Vincennes New Method Phonograph Working Beautiful Deco

Description

This Listing:
Beautiful vintage (antique?) working Vincennes Phonograph. Crank, springs, speed control mechanism, and sound reproducer all work great. Cabinet in pretty nice shape with a few minor scratches and chips in the veneer. Top of cabinet shows extended scratches toward both left and right sides. Those have been sanded and stained and really don’t look too bad, unless you’re right on top of it looking at an angle (see photo).
The “start/stop” mechanism is the only thing that doesn’t work properly (unless you can figure it out. I have it... just doesn’t do what it’s supposed to). This DOES NOT affect the playability of the machine at all. It just means that the turntable needs to be stopped manually (not really a big deal).
Inside the side doors are four really cool pull-out record compartments, two on each side.
The mesh grill is original (and old) and shows a bit of a tear at top right. Not too bad... I think you should be able to mend that. Cabinet is sturdy and hardware looks to be all original.

Thank you for looking
: I have 3 small children that will want to go to college one day. Please buy lots of stuff!!! The thought of sending 3 kids to college on a civil servant's salary is somewhat overwhelming. The more you buy, the lower their college loans will be.
