The 'stain' on the top of this one made me laugh
i giggled a little bit about the stain too! Does that machine fit that table? If so, why is it elevated and not flush with the table top?

Is 4100 in pesos? Lira? Or Euros? I'm not sure.

Looks like they missed the shift key when they were going for the $.

As a guess, I bet the cabinet isn't original to the machine You can put the cradle into any cabinet, but you have to "notch" the front piece a little in 2 spots for the cradle to sit properly or it's a realllllllly tight fit. (Hence why it's sitting higher front to back too.) That said, it's period correct (ish) and I'd probably pick it up for $100 if I was in the market for one. It looks pretty clean. A 5 minute mod would make it fit, if it's what I think it is.

I saw that too, and I know this to be true. Even with notching it, it is a tight fit but it can be modified to fit properly.

And Mark, I bet you are right. I bet they missed the shift key.
