Too bad you didn't get some pics of it - I wanted to see what made it seem
such a mess. The solder is supposed to be there, as Ron L'H said, and if
there was anything running into the horn it was just a volume control, which
I remove anyway because it muffles the sound. The straps behind the slots
sound correct, too. Except for the missing grill, how bad is the cabinet?
You might be disappointed to learn that the few Edison table models are
less common than floor models and they're HEAVY, awkward things. My Chalet
weighs about 70 pounds, and my B-80 nearly as much.

The poor London model of Edison's Diamond Disc machine looks like it had
been tortured. The vertical section was there afterall, but a cable, wood
block and some other things (part going into the horn) were missing.
Someone had SOLDERED the horn on th....
Needless to say, the machine still sits with the seller...who is now a bit
wiser, since I shared the photo and what I knew with her. She seemed not
at all disappointed and actually fascinated to learn something about the
poor mess.
As for its WEIGHT. I've got an "AH-HAH!" I took the flashlight and checked
out the left side where the 24 slots for records was. I could see that 2,
that's TWO, thick metal weights were in place behind the slots. They went
across the back, one high, one low. \
I will, however, now keep an eye out for an Edison (table model) which
could play my records
