Paul, that picture is a BSR turntable. I have one just like it.
It's funny, because when I saw that deck in the first photo the parts which were visible shouted "BSR" at me. The changer support arm and some of the other features around the rear of the tonearm looked like classic late 1960s BSR, but when I saw the full deck in the later photo the controls and the pickup head seemed to say otherwise. Maybe that was a model which was exported heavily but not all that common here?
Thanks! That makes for some fascinating reading. I see the author is still constructing the Groucho page. A couple of the old commercials I have on tape are of Groucho plugging the DeSoto range, with particular emphasis on Chrysler's pushbutton transmission selector which was the "in" feature at the time.
