We have a winner - I don't think there are ANY authentic parts in this.

Actually, the id plate that's warped May be real. VV-IV Model to boot

The use of felt on the motor board is also a novel idea. One normally expects to find it on the turntable........

Look at the ID plate. It looks like it is paper glued to a piece of brass cut with scissors. Look at the edges!
