I've wanted one of these odd sets for a while.  I have to ask - were these really meant to be placed under a desk and foot operated ?  Seems to be the sound would be muffled and that rocker control couldn't take the abuse ?

A few weeks ago I finally got one cheap on ebay   Just one catch - the cabinet is a disaster.  Looks like it was tied to a bumper and dragged around the block a few times    I figure it will be good practice on bakelite repair and it will get painted anyway.
