Orchestrope M1W
The M2W and M1W exist at the same time. Common is Push buttons opposite program slip to avoid numbers, program holder, coin slides in in one location at the top.
There are several models of Orchestrope known like: Club, Commercial (wide), Commercial (high), Commercial 28 as 28-F, (perhaps 28-G) and 28-GB, Auditorium with a separate Orchestrope Speaker, Aristocrat without coin slot, Home and the "Park" with a separate speaker cabinet, Speaker 600.
In March 1930 came a less expensive Amperion line with a simple turning changer, followed by models with the drop-type only "10-12" mechanism in 1931. The main success was later the changer 16-E etc. - see more details and summaries here.

I am restoring this 1936 Jukebox. The mechanism was grossly cannibalized and missing parts. The posted ID 227884 is identical to the one I am restoring. I need a picture of the bottom of the model B mechanism within this JB. Attached is a picture of the one I am restoring. Is there any possiblilty I could get a picture?
thank you
