The only example known to exist of an unusual Link Style 2 with a large art glass window. Reported to have serial number 4374. If that number is correct, it is the only cabinet style known with a number typically used for keyboard style instruments. If this instrument is observed by someone who reads this report, we would appreciate confirmation or correction of the number.
