That is a United States phonograph:

It is a combination 2-4 minute machine and was very well designed - but that reproducer is a mass of pot metal.

A US "Lakeside" Phonograph! I recently heard one play that Tim Fabrizio owns. Very cool, it has both 2 and 4 minute reproducers that can be selected for play.
Best,
Fran

I doubt that replacements are easily available, they are usually the only part of the machine that goes bad.

There's another thread somewhere here where pics of all the US models were posted. Can anyone find it?
