Just arrived today. It's got a Garrard 50 in it which isn't great, but it's mounted in a Samsonite suitcase with a 30 watt amp and speakers. It's missing the headshell and cart, but I'm pretty sure I have one somewhere. This is the type of weird stuff I love finding.

Do you think its original or home made ? were Samsonite cases around then ?

It's original. It has the sticker on the back, and everything else looks right too. I've had a couple of others.

1916 is the model number. I think they came out in 1965. There's another version of it that has a second suitcase. Both sides of the second suitcase are larger speakers. I've only seen pictures of those. I'd like to find one.

It's not. This is the Analogue Art section. However, this should really go in the Past Masters area. I'll move it there later and edit posts accordingly.

I'm sorry. I thought this was the place for it. My mistake.
