Hi,
Your B-150 was made for a very short time (1915) after the fire of Dec. 1914 and was basically the same as the Edison A-150. It was superseded by the C-150 that had a full cabinet design with a cupboard for records instead of the half cabinet with shelf for the record boxes. You have the nice early brown painted bed plate with the early speed control knob as found on the Amberola 1As and 1Bs and other early Diamond Disc machines. It is hard to tell from the picture, but your Reproducer weight should have the extra plate attached on the bottom for the stylus assembly.
A very nice find!!!!
