The Vireo?
Does anyone recognise this brand of machine and know anything about the company?

Definitely Fletcher...

That grille looks to have been taken from an Edison C-200 "Adam" diamond disc machine. I also wonder about the crank, which seems to stick out awfully far from the side of the cabinet.

Vireo was the house brand for the Ecklund Bros. music store of Everett, Washington. It's using a Flecther supplier arm, and the grille is not original, it's from an Edison.
