I found this on US Facebook Market Place. I am wondering if this is made in UK.

Looks like a Garrard motor which is British. It might be electric considering how little space there is on the right hand side of the cabinet for a crank. Or the crank just isn't fitted.
I like the acoustic design of the tonearm. Which seems to be British as well. I don't know who built it. But very nice whoever did !

The brand seems to read The ALBA. If that's right, this is a famous British gramophone maker.

The folded tonearm reminds me of the 'Gilbert' brand gramophones, which were from the UK.

Thank you. I guess it ALBA. It is kinda hard to see clearly the logo, but it seems ALBA.
