    If I was up to it...

    I would find a big picture of a cup of beer... and photoshop it on top of the thing...

    Pebbles and Bam-Bam... LOL. Could double as a lazy Susan for dips and chips.

    Could be any platter/ drive. The control is not from a Thorens. It's an SME II tonearm, and it does look a little low to me as well.
