It would seem that I have the exact style player. Mine is a plain case, made around 1932. I too am happy with the ease of removing the spool box and related parts. Here are some photos, I hope they help. Please let me know if you need others. http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k13/rollguy/100_1171.jpg http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k13/rollguy/100_1173.jpg Rich Ingram
