That's a beautiful cabinet, but there are two things I notice in the pics at a quick glance: First, the holes for the control shafts do not look like factory, but more like hand drilled ones. Second: there are no holes to bolt down the chassis, that I can see? My take is that a good amateur cabinet maker made the cabinet, in anticipation of putting a Lafayette chassis in it, but never did.....
