What you have is the motor board, etc for a VV-50. JerryB. was selling a case a while back in Yankee Trader. I think his sold, but they do come available from time to time. I have a handful of VV-50 parts from my last VV-50 project, but not the case. I'd start by placing an add in the Yankee Trader section to start with , and good luck sourcing the case.
Being some of the first phonographs designed to be portable, the VV-50's are pretty neat machines to own. I have 2 styles of this model and really like both. Worth restoring if you can find a reasonably priced case.
Good Luck!
