The finish on the inside of the lid is pristine, however, the finish on the outside of the cabinet is checked and has some dings and scratches. no broken or missing parts that I'm aware of, though the fabric behind the grill where the horn is needs replaced since it's hanging in shreds. There are a few spots of mildew on the turntable felt and the machine has a light odor of mildew when it's cranked up and spinning. It still works beautifully, however. Cranks smooth and no noise when the turntable is spinning.
this has been a family peice for as long as I can remember so would be well over 80years or more. It has a beautiful feel about it, silky in fact and it has the five Satsuma colours. I do not know if it was an export vase and have not been able to find any vase of this shape. Any help would be appreciated, thanks jeanette
