Rahway, NJ, Model 35 Automatic Changer, 15 1/2", serial No.50970, less top trim. Note from 1905 onward, all Reginas had 7 digit serial numbers. The mahogany case was in the midst of restoration when consigned, and the front door and disc drawer have been stripped of their finish and top trim to case has been lost. The movement plays crisply on double comb movement with piano sounding board; sometimes rack does not advance to next tune. You get a full rack of 12 discs, plus half dozen extras in the drawer with this box. Also retains original guarantee certificate on rear, which prices additional discs at 0.60 each, less 10% by the dozen. For complete details, refer to Bowers' Encyclopedia of Automatic Musical Instruments, pages 193-194. See next lot for disc cabinet and more discs. Height as shown 60 1/2"
