The 8200M is made from birch and maple woods and used the Seeburg “Marbl-glo” process (picture upper right). The designs in the wood were “airbrushed” with a compressor -- by hand, so no two machines had the same exact pattern. After airbrushing, a sealant was placed on top of it all to bond it to the wood permanently. So the end result looks like granite or polished stone.

When the machine is lit in a dark room, it looks like a magnigicent “fountain of light” and is just mesmerizing to watch. The pilasters are made from fluted glass tiles and the top vertical glass and the dome glass is fluted all around. A huge 15” speaker sits with its cone facing upwards towards the top and baffles inside deflect the sound out both sides and the front. In addition, an 8” speaker made by Utah Corporation is housed behind the center grill cloth and used for added sound output. The amp is a model 720E (nobody’s ever heard of it) but it is an authentic Seeburg amp and has all the ID plates as such.
I assume this is where the series “Hi-Tone” came about as the sound comes from the top of the machine, not the lower front. In addition, the center glass is a cube-like opaque type that has a slow-turning color sheet of acetate that throws out an interesting ever-changing colored pattern from the center. All in all, a fascinating piece of machinery. The mechanism is located at the bottom rear of the cabinet.

It seems this machine was modified with a Rock-Ola system. The mechanism looks like a Rock-Ola Smythe mech because it has “platters,” not sliding trays like the original Seeburg Freeborg mechanism. Also the records swing out from the rear to the front. Smythe mechs worked like that. Note the post and the tray locks. It is definitely a Smythe mechanism!  It has the traditional post and tray unlocking device (they are actually mechanical fingers) at the front like on a Rock-Ola 1426. Another giveaway is the tonearm post - note the design of the metal. It is a Rock-Ola post …
