Re: record deck
Looks like a BSR Babygram.

Re: record deck
Should have added "BSR TU8 ?" to my previous post but the edit time expired.

Re: Record deck ID?
This is the BSR TU8 unit launched in early 1955. It was replaced by the TU9 4 speed unit in the Summer of 1956. It came as standard with an Acos HGP37-1 cartridge. The little speed selector lever often snapped off on these. They will be readily found on the EAR "Babygram" and Margolin (Dansette) "Grammette" of the period.
