ekimetsok,
Thank you. I did find one Atwater-Kent advert with something vaguely similar, but nothing else on the web. The cabinet is very sturdy, better than both my Edison Phonographs! You don't think the horn is original? It is well made and matches the cabinet perfectly. It is free floating in the front and even though it is decorated I have found evidence of a cover on it at some point-four small holes in the corners. Would it have had a speaker and control panel on one of the long sides? The side opposite the crank has a hole, very well plugged, in the same position. It's tough to see in the photos, but two of the sides are different than the other two. One long and one short side have a lip or rim at the top, yet they all match up at the bottom. The top appears to have been hinged on the short side behind the tonearm at one point and it has a lip screwed on the underside holding the copper colored cloth-could there be a makers decal under there? When it was a radio did the top lift up?
I have got some grief about this machine on a phonograph board I belong to. I find this odd duck fascinating, someone put a lot of work into this cabinet and I think it deserves to be saved. They did a rotten job on the phonograph part, cheap motor, crappy tonearm and poor layout, but the cabinet and horn are to interesting too trash IMHO.
Thanks again for the info.

Regards,
J.
