2 crank holes always means the motor was replaced with one that was never intended to fit. I would avoid this machine.

And by the "smile" in the motor-deck and the rust stains inside the horn, I'd say it got wet... repeatedly.

For the cost of replacing that tone arm you could probably find a complete machine - these are fairly common.
