Very Cool. Must have been a neat store, I do not think of Walmart as fun, what changed in retail? Used to go to small stores and then a department store was an adventure.

Are you going for a cleanup or a refinish on the box? Who made that one, Detrola? I have a Trutone by Detrola, kind neat but a basic one...
