8A on Self-contained Underdrive Oak Cabinet Stand

Pictures showing the cabinet stand with the side panelling removed. The belt change mechanism relied on two shifters, on just above the motor, the other built into the top of the headstock which replicated the movement of a "lifting hand".
The lever on the top of the headstock operated a drive clutch.
