Definately a wrong 'un. The motor looks to be a Garrard from a thirties portable, as does the turntable. The Goldring soundbox dates from around the 1950s, and the back bracket is a repro. The horn looks as though it might be a genuine old one, though.

I wonder how speed adjustments could be done.

No, wrong. The ebay/C-list area is only for listings as they are - not to alert us to errors/lies/frauds.

After all: if it uses Spanish spelling, it must be British…… right?
