there are some nicks and scrapes on the case, and the lid, made of 4 solid segments has dried at the seams and will need attention. The discs are all generally good with some rust, still play OK. The box with adjustable speed governor; note tune "stop" lever needs adjusting. See Bowers "Encyclopedia of Automatic Musical Instruments pages 118--125, for additional details on Mira and their good reputation. W = 14", Ht 8" Discs 9" diameter
