That's a Gerrard resistive dropper in the bottom, had one as a child to run a cine projector, boy do they get hot! Its going to be 50Hz mains. Its easier to speed up a turntable 20% mechanically than slow it down.
I've seen that cabinet before, sunrise, but not with the lid open. Was there not a Pye console radio in a similar cabinet?
