I have been asked to refurbish a radiogram. There is no make and model number. I've never seen a record deck like it.

Can anyone help with identifying it?

Looks HMV with Plessey deck to me.

I would think the chassis is based on the HMV 1119

It's an HmV circa 1948, the deck cartridge uses HmV silent stylus miniature needles, the cartridge goes to the radio chassis via a high ratio stepup transformer. BE careful not to loose the top part of the deck spindle when moving it, it has to be removed to take records off the turntable, they re often missing.
