There is some similarity in that they both have radial recording arms 
rather than straight lathes, but this is only the deck without an amp, 
while my unit was complete with an internal amp.  The playback arm is 
missing on this, and the condition is rather weatherbeaten.  I'm not 
sure which model this is, because it is unusual to see a radial arm on 
what looks to be a 16-inch machine.  Mine was a 12-inch, by the way.  I 
do have several 16-inch machines, but the one I brought was smaller, it 
works, and I brought it to be used.  For those who weren't there, I had 
Graham Newton record my presentation on it because I was giving the 
history of the lacquer disc.
