Hi Arran

The woodgrain on the sides and top of the 18B originally ran horizontally. As you can see in the photos, when Barry replaced it, he put it on vertically to make it easier to install, with my permission.

I used to own a 3118B that was in really poor shape. After divorce #2, I sold it to Jeremy Schotter of south central Indiana. He put up a page outlining how he restored it...

I actually acquired the (USA) chassis from one source, the (Canadian) cabinet from another. The cabinet is Canadian all the way; they did not offer this style in the USA back in 1935.
