Does anybody know what brand this is? It looks like an orthophonic-type of some sort to me, but what do I know. Obviously not Victor. Friggin' cheap, too, at $85 and looks to be in decent shape.

The decal says it's a Dulcetto. I think it's probably made in the UK.

Pretty unusual for a machine this late to be sporting an oak cabinet... looks like a nice machine for $85.

Right, thanks. I saw the label but I couldn't make it out. If only I lived near to it... But I have to save for Union anyway, and I have a V 8-12 besides.

Nevertheless, I hope somebody saves it from the dump.

Dulcetto was a UK make- Oak was the usual thing over there. This probably came over in a container lot of antiques & furnishings.

Even though it's now $140 , still a great machine for the price. Toledo is too far away, though.... dammit.
