If the motor turns smoothly and the parts fit well, it probably sounds quite nice. That looks like a Columbia Vivatonal reproducer.

It's a story all right. The bracket and elbow are obviously Crapophone parts form India. And knowing India's huge brass industry, I'd guess the whole thing was made there. I knew Charlie Haines and went to his shop every week for the two years I lived in Philadelphia. I wonder when he got it. It says he sold it in 1996. I returned to California in 1992 so he must have gotten it after I left. Nice story but not worth $5500.
