Description
This massive machine in its elaborate cabinet has its original brown oak finish which is well worn and weathered throughout. Top cover has evidence of several old repairs and is dark and stained. This machine features the massive Higham reproducer. The amber wheel and tension strap are intact and in playing condition. It plays reasonably well but not up to its full potential. The upper mechanism and bedplate have original black paint, pinstripe, and plating in average condition with the usual wear. Original winding crank and massive 3 spring motor that winds and runs, however the shut off mechanism needs adjustment and lubrication. Also includes 20" long brass and steel horn with 11.5" diameter bell. Bell has been polished and has some dents and wrinkles. Steel body has been stripped of its paint and has some pitting. Small end of the horn has a brass reducing sleeve to fit the Higham reproducer. See photos.
