We just inherited an Opera from my FIL. It been in the family since my hubby's Great Great Grandfather bought it. Unfortunately, it's been in the basement for over 30 years. 

 

Oak. I do have the horn. But it needs serious repairs. Im sending out the reproducer to Wyatt Markus next week, and I do believe I've located an automatic stop. So, it will be complete in the next year.

Thank you for your contribution.  Our database has been updated.  Good luck with your restoration.

I see a possible error regarding 4362. Here's the post where it was referenced:
