Has anyone got an idea of what this machine is?

Found online, no response yet from the seller as to ID. Does anyone recognize this? I'm wondering if it might be a British Columbia machine. Nice cabinet. Thanks...

It appears to be a Columbia Koester electric phonograph. (I do not remember the Viva-Tonal model number)
I can check later - it is pictured on quite a few sleeves. I have run across these before but they always seem to be gutted.
If complete it has one of my favorite horse shoe pick ups - on a yoke similar to Capehart's zero tangent design.

It's a Model 920, low end of the 900 series consoles.

Thanks, gents. This seems to be yet another one of those cases where a seller posts something for sale online, then can't be bothered to respond. I do appreciate the ID information though.
