[ATTACH=CONFIG]572769[/ATTACH] I snagged it. It does not have the glass tension. The A prefix, and the serial # appear to be prior to 1890. It had rested on a fireplace mantle for the last 30 years. It was gummy at first but she is moving a lot easier now. I was quite surprised to fine what looks like a Victrola needle in the needle bar. Ok, It was pointy. but it didn't even have a hole and was way too short. Needles are ordered. More pica on another camera. I took it to a family reunion this weekend. Bkay, Susan was there and enjoyed it. Thanks for all you responses. Not sure what I'll use for power yet. It will NOT go to handcrank demos with hundreds of children, but living history days may see it get some exercise. No thumbscrew for mounting it in a base. Not a big thing. More pics as I get it oiled and cleaned a bit more.
