What could happen when you order the gramophone online?? Columbia Graphophone

What happened when I order the antique gramophone on eBay

Nice find. Doesn't look too badly damaged and I am sure was/will be a fun project. The reproducer looks very nice and I guess is for vertical cut records? Thanks 👍😀

The body is Columbia but the reproducer is Pathe’ !
🤣

I ordered a Victrola 2-55 on eBay and had a experience that was awful. (Who ships a phonograph with the 78rpm records STILL IN THE HOLDER?) amazingly the machine suffered more damage than the records!

Amazingly indeed.
