The gramophone I was given. It's rusty, the soundbox is loose, the handle broken, but it still works ! and plays ok if I keep hold of the soundbox.
I think it's a 1920s/30s Columbia 109a.
I'm not sure why the inside, including the arm, horn, and case that typically is some sort of leatherette, has a thick badly applied covering of black gloss paint!
It should be worth refurbishing, although removing the paint might be a messy and long job....

Cheap but cursed circuit from 20th century era for small #gramophone / #phonograph using single pentode #valve / #tube and selenium rectifier - the whole chassis of the amplifier is connected to one side of mains - depending which way the plug is inserted, the chassis can sit at mains voltage! (and we had this in countries where the mains was 200-250V)
Equipment like this is supposed to be well insulated (including grub screws in control knobs)
