Some more progress, thanks for the links & the more I look at it the more I'm convinced I have a 56 chassis!
Lots of progress on the woodwork, its actually looking half way reasonable. My skills are very limited as is no doubt apparent but its a fair bit tidier than it was. The first picture shows what has been done so far. The second is a close up of the turntable mechanism & as you can see it is dual voltage so my assumption about a capacitive dropper was right & its 50Hz so definitely made for the UK. All I have to do now is make it work!! Have a good evening one & all.
