"La Vita" brand talking machine, anyone heard of it?

Hi folks,

No affiliation.

In the spirit of "off-brand" manufacturers, I came across this local CL listing, certainly not anything I'm interested in, but I wanted to somehow record the name for posterity.

Anyone ever heard if the manufacturer? It has a very odd tonearm arrangement (looks like a vertical and lateral capable one), and the cabinet is very "Victrola-esque" (at least outwardly) in my opinion.

Pictures for posterity:

It's a typical off brand phonograph from the teens to the mid twenties. It has the usual pot metal parts. I think that it is very attractive and the price makes it an excellent buy.

For that price I think it is a good buy
