I don't know what it is, I've never seen one. It looks British, but who knows? It's a cool cabinet and if I had room, I would buy it... the price is reasonable and the machine is unusual.

I agree. Cool indeed.

The hardware doesn’t look like anything to write home about, but that cabinet sure is nice.

A Resonaphon, maybe? They had a big oval sticker inside their lids about like the dark spot under the lid of this one.

Actually now that you mention it.... the tone arm does look a little short

Do you have any pictures of one?

Sure. I doubt it's the same company, but it's the only thing I found that is anywhere close to the chamfered corners and the outline of the decal.

There are Thorens models too. I'm seeing one these days at the flea market. It is a small tabletop, but has also chamfered corners an a very beautiful look. If next Sunday the seller allows me to take some photos, I'll post them here.
