   It's a 70s era box in which the trend was to hide the record selecting   
   and playing mechanism from public view.  Sheesh, half the fun of putting   
   a coin in late '40s, '50s and some '60s era boxes was watching that   
   happen right in front of you because your phono at home didn't do that.   
   IOW it's the experience of operating the appliance and not just   
   listening to a record.   
      
   IMHO it's those boxes from the pre-1970s era that demand the higher   
   prices (is a mint condition Wurlitzer 1015 bubbler still the most   
   desirable?)  I wouldn't bid on your box even if it's mint.  Sincerely,
