They cut a slot in the top for a crank. Does south America have a factory like India??? Lot of work on that one...I am trying to figure out which expensive pine they used for the case..

It has a Columbia Viva Tonal reproducer on it (not sure which one, it kind of resembles the No. 9, but I believe it is one of the earlier Viva Tonal Reproducers, probably pot metal..)

The tonearm is from a Victor Orthophonic portable, most likely a 2-55. And the motor is also from a Victor portable. I think it's the export version of the Victor portable single-spring motor.

Where are the "de Edison" parts and when did he have a factory in Camden, NJ
