What style!
An old VM changer plunked into an even older acoustic cabinet.

The Internet is a marvelous thing, however it's not a good substitute for actually being there.

Well.........

The cabinet may be of interest to some collectors. I've never seen an HMV 8 cabinet so ornately carved-- if that IS an HMV 8 cabinet.

Here's what a complete model looks like:

Also -- http://www.gramophones.uk.com/available ... 1_180.html

Hard to tell what it is with that brown paint all over it. Is it carved? Applique? Embossed tin plates?

If possible, please post some more photos.
