It looks as if it would belong in a console. Perhaps a "high end" console upgrade, 1978 style?

I'm pretty sure that table never saw the inside of any commercially made stereo console.
In other words: you made it up.
Still guessing I see.
I never said it was anything more than a guess, but it's a damn good one. An air bearing tonearm with a pump installed inside of a console? Really? Like I said, common sense.
A shot in the dark.
Look, if you have an ace up your sleeve and you have a picture of that table inside a console, let's see it. I'm basing my guess on common sense and 50 years of experience looking at and listening to audio gear. From what I see from you, you just want to be cute and argue. I'm in no mood for nonsense. Put up or shut up.
Not arguin'. Just exposing your transposition of guess for fact.
according to my better half who is fluent in nihongo, its a Makara model 4824. beyond that you'll have to do your own research.
PS - theres and abstract with the US patents office in Los Angeles ca 1978 the inventor is Robert Cheeseboro.
