If that is the best image that National Geographic can create, they need to fire their graphics person... I am not an expert PhotoShop user, but I can do better than this by a long shot. George is right, it is a Standard A image that has been flipped and squinched into an Amberola case... they didn't even bother to edit out the original Amberola horn/arm from behind and below. I particularly like the nice touch of adding an external horn in an internal horn machine, or maybe this was one of those "rare" phono finds on eBay. LOL
