I cannot recall the maker but the model number was something like VTR500. The makers name may have started with an F. John.

This was the Wesgrove VKR 500 which was mentioned in the link in post #3. There are also some better details and photos at this link

I actually bought one in the early 1970's from a guy in Gosport via Exchange & Mart! I never did manage to get it going properly and in the end broke it up and managed to sell the fractional H.P. motor that drove it at crazy speeds!
