I don't know the Gray well enough to say really, but that's what I assumed it was from my memory of what they look like.
However, a quick Gurgle suggests it might be a Gray 208S like the one on this page
At 16 inches, it would certainly qualify for the description of a tone-leg!
16"! Better not let Tabatha hear about that!
Mind you, you might have to pay an "arm and a leg" for one of those.
Actually, since the Gray is an American design it uses the American convention: arms designed to play 16" discs were called 16" arms. The arm length (stylus to pivot) is actually 3/4 of this, or 12", which is the British designation. Tabatha should still be impressed however!

Back OT Nathan, if you fancy a bit of vertical playing from time to time, try a Technics SL7. These go for about £100-150 on eBay, though this one went for more.
I had one when new in the 80s for my bedsit and played it vertically all the time. Recently I bought another one, and a wider SL-QL1 which I'm getting back from Vantage Audio tomorrow tricked out with external PS, damping, copper platter, new feet. These higher end DD linear tracking turntables in the Technics range give current belt drives up to £1500 or more a real run for their money once serviced. And the p-mount cartridge mounting isn't the downer it could be when you can get Jico SAS tips for Technics P22 bodies.
After my SL7 turned up I tried it out vertically - though I don't use it like this now - and did a short video . . .
I was probably exaggerating a little in comparing the Sony with their Sound Burger, but a look at the deck in question does not inspire confidence.

It was intended to be a ‘fun item’: provision for two headphones, yet no obvious output to a preamp but some, it would appear, did have a short range FM transmitter so you could listen on your portable FM radio. Very strange!
Your right, I haven't owned either and neither I would I sell my TD124/IIs or EMT 930 for one. Nor would I want to subject my records to a Sony PS-F5.
Sorry
