Does anyone now what this baby is?

I picked this up from the show last weekend. The person who sold it to me said it was from Germany. I rebuilt the reproducer cleaned the wood up and changed the felt on the turntable. But still don't know what it is the only marking on it says the coliseum on the front. Thanks for the help in advance. I just hope I didn't get suckered into buying a frankenphone

Looks fine to me- a typical relatively inexpensive German / Swiss machine.

Coliseum was a British record label produced from 1912 to 1927. They may well have applied their name to a client machine from such as Beka, Paillard or Thorens. The early records were pressed in Germany but after WW1 they were entirely British made, although many of the later issues were American dance band recordings by Gennett.
