Anybody know what this record player is in my avatar?

Looks very much like a Dansette Monarch or Imperial:

Sorry avatar image is a bit blurry.
Player in avatar looks larger, but .. yes, could be.

Out of the two in the links in Post#3 I would say Dansette Monarch (the record deck looks to be a BSR Monarch)

Yee, this is 100% a Dansette "Monarch" from 1963 using a BSR UA15 autochanger. The later "Imperial" model from 1965, looked identical except for the name and used the BSR UA15ss autochanger and a far better PP/UL amplifier.

Thank you ( and everybody) for the clarification.
