Can you identify this Peter Gunn Hi Fi?

This screenshot from season 1, episode 4, 1958, in Gunn's girlfriend's apartment, I think. The video for this series is very poor resolution, unfortunately, but that thing is very cool!

The record tilt suggests a Garrard changer.

For you youngsters out there, Peter Gunn was a TV detective show which ran from 1958 to 1961, filmed in studios in California. Henry Mancini scored the theme song, which became a hit:

Likely some custom thing.

Mancini won the first Grammy award for the "Peter Gunn" soundtrack.

I can't tell much about the picture so I got on youtube and looked it up. I thought maybe I could see it better there. I found, Peter Gunn | Season 1 | Episode 4 | The Blind Pianist. I went all the way through it and couldn't find a scene with that picture in it. Maybe that scene has been cut or maybe they labeled the episode wrong.

On Amazon Prime Video, episode name is The Frog. Scene starts about 11:15, after Gunn's hands are whacked by the bad gangster (who will soon get his comeuppance). I guess season/episode references aren't always consistent.

I found the episode. I thought watching it with the video running might help but it didn't. Not for me anyway.
