I happened to see this last night, and almost choked on my cocoa. The NEEDLE CUPS on a cylinder machine should set off the
first alarm.
It is an Amberola mechanism shoved into a chopped-down, cheapo disc cabinet. Gross-buckets, as they used to say in Bloom
County.
. Maybe the machinery is worth something, but who has empty Amberola cabinets laying around? They shoulda stuck it in a
crate & claimed it's a rare Mission style Amberola IV! (One of which is pictured in a Buffalo music shop. I wonder where
that one went)

Hello John and all...
Now I admit I don't know beans about cylinder phonos, or acoustic phonos in general, and I must be particularly thick, but
I looked at this listing and it looked OK to me... even the close-up picture of the serial number plate.
What did I miss... something serious?
