It has four little round feet, you just can´t see them from the angle.
Thanks for that, glad I was wrong!

I'm not sure you are. The record cabinet section looks far too close to the floor to be convenient to use. Other console Dressolas coming up in Google images all seem to have the expected 10" (250mm) or so legs on them.

I can’t find any reference to this model anywhere. So it could be. But then again if you look under the machine then the Bakelite feetsies seem to have been replaced at some time in the history but as they don’t seem to be able to go anywhere else I would say that they are at least on the original position. I’ll take a closer look.

On close inspection it does look like it had longer legs attached.
Now I have learned something new. Seems they all had a tad more "leg room" all the same I am happy with the way it is and it is too late to change anything now so I am going to leave it as it is.
I´ll be on the lookout for another Dressola and we will see.
