Help identify 1950s phonograph
I'm looking for any kind of lead to track down the make and model of this record player from ~1956. It may have had a VM 950 changer, but I'm not absolutely certain that's what it was. It was phono only and had three speakers: a 12" and two 4(?)" The tweeters had enclosed baskets and had hex nuts in the center of their cones. All three speakers were painted radiola-chassis brown.
It *may* have been sold on/near a US military base in Germany. My dad served there in the mid 50s. Any help is appreciated.

V-M did build record changers for the export market. |

I've seen a few different American made units from different brands with that general cabinet style so identifying it by cabinet alone will be a challenge.

...but persistence pays off! Only with equal parts joy and heartache as it turns out. It's British-made, and apparently was also available as a Yankee export model.
