Much better than these nasty reproductions you see, id rather have one of those beautiful originals and for just £10 you can't argue with that! I think not
Ha ha ha
Thanks for the laugh

The description says like the dog model. He's partially right. More like a sick puppy!!

You have to consider that this is the rare glass bottomed Varaphone, which are normally seen only on glass bottom tourist boats in Silver Springs, Florida...

If I had a Garrard No.20 motor (the favourite motor for British built portables) in a machine of much earlier appearance I would want to conceal it, not display it behind glass. Nevertheless the machine sold for £353. It is difficult to imagine how or why.

It has tracking so accurate that is comparable only to an EMG. Look at the angle of the soundbox to the record but I don't think he cares he made £353 and he didn't even have to try to pass it off as an original just used the power of clever wording and prayer.
