Very cool find, it looks very similar to a CH Deco cabinet if it didn't say Marbelite on the door.

I wonder if CH and Marbelite had these cabinets cast at the same foundry :scratch:

Indeed.

Definitely a nice acquisition, Mike. I saw that on EBay and was rather tempted. Was out of my budget, though. In any case, I am glad it found a nice home.

Do show us the inside in operation. :thumbsup:

Thanks!

Here is a short video of it running...
(Don't worry, it's not stretchy when it plays. Just click on the image and the video looks normal.)
