OFFERED HERE IS A VERY UNIQUE ITEM. AN ERLICH OR ARISTON PAPER ORGANETTE. WE’RE TOLD THAT THIS IS AN ORIGINAL ERLICH ORGANETTE AS CAN BE SEEN BY THE STAMP ON THE BOTTOM OF THE UNIT. FROM WHAT WE UNDERSTAND ERLICH LATER BECAME OR LICENSED HIS PATENT TO ARISTON? THIS IS WHAT WE’RE TOLD, BUT WE CAN’T BE SURE. THAT IN AND OF ITSELF MAKES IT AN AMAZING CONVERSATION PIECE. THE UNIT REALLY IS A BEAUTIFUL PIECE. BLACK WITH GOLD TRIM. WE’RE TOLD THAT THE ORIGINAL ERLICH’S DIDN’T HAVE THE “BUTTONS” ON THE CORNERS THAT THE LATER ARISTON’S HAD. UNFORTUNATELY THE TOP OF THE UNIT HAS A CRACK RUNNING DOWN IT, BUT IT DOES APPEAR THAT IT WOULD GLUE BACK TOGETHER NICELY. THE UNIT DOES CRANK, AND WE EVEN GET SOUND OUT OF IT, SO IT APPEARS THE BELLOWS ARE STILL INTACT RARE! BUT FOR SOME REASON WHEN WE ENGAGE THE COMB ARM THE DISC DOESN’T SPIN. NOT SURE WHAT THIS MAY BE. PERHAPS THE ARM IS TOO TIGHT? BUT WE DIDN’T WANT TO MESS W/ IT. TO REITERATE, THE UNIT IS TECHNICALLY CURRENTLY NOT WORKING, BUT IN OUR OPINION IF YOU SOLVE THE SITUATION WITH THE DISC NOT SPINNING WHEN THE ARM IS ENGAGED THE UNIT SHOULD PERFORM FINE. UNIT MEASURES APPROX 16″ X 16″ X 10″ AND COMES W/ (2) 13″ PAPER DISCS. ALL INFO DEEMED TO BE RELIABLE BUT NOT GUARANTEED.
