I haven't heard of this brand until now. Looks like a high quality instrument, though. What do y'all think? I guess the extra speaker can function as the left channel if the rear jumper plug is set up that way. Funky frequency response "display" that appears to have dropped a couple of its lines...

Good pix in the listing:

I always thought Hoffman was cool and you see them advertised occasonally on Craig's list or eBay. There is a VM/Hoffman changer on ebay right now. I wish when people post ads they would take the backs off so we could see what is down deep inside.

Here's the changer:

Here's a YouTube video of the same model just different wood and there is a shot with the back off.

Interesting, I guess it's a B8006, so according to the schematic from Radiomuseum ad farm, it's a single-ended power amp, which was a surprise to me. I think they must have spent the money on the rotary switches and visual display mechanics instead of the amp power! Looks snazzy, though...

the dial reminds me of a early Scott receiver
