Identify This Unknown Console
I saw this unknown console for sale on the local craigslist a while back. I am curious on the identity of the machine. Has anyone seen this model before?

Just an educated guess but by the brake and crank, I'd guess English. Jerry

Yes, it appears to be a British off-brand machine with Garrard motor and Thorens brake & tonearm.

Yes I agree it has nearly the same tonearm and speed control of my Telefunken which is German, so european of some type for sure.

Hey, I have that very same BG Sextet album, Columbia Records set C-102, that's in the second photo. It's a dandy, too.

This is something English or European made with Swiss parts. Over there this method of record filing was the usual thing.
