I think you’re right—it looks like someone with a little woodworking skill threw the guts of another phonograph into a case of their own devising. It’s definitely one where “a unique and rare machine” (as is oft seen on eBay) would actually be truth in advertising! :lol:

Plus, it has a very fetching all-capitals description. :D

It appears to need a new stylus judging by the cylinder on the mandrel :shock:
