Help! I need someone with a "Coinola Cupid" willing to take some detail case pictures and interior pictures, and perhaps even some tracings.
This poor baby was owned by a NASA engineer who worked on the moon project. Tired of the peeling oak veneer, he sent it out to a cabinet shop and had it fixed. It is -- I'm not kidding! -- a "lunch-counter special" now, covered with that brownish wood-grain Formica, and all of the details removed. I have the two art glass panels with the cat tail for the upper left and right, but am missing the middle panel. I'm sending along a picture so you will believe what has happen to this poor instrument. Any information greatly appreciated.
