Looks like it's just been left to rot in a garage.
It has a multi-tap transformer, which I've set to 240v. Don't really want to power it up without a variac, which I don't have.
The arm is a UA-5045, which The Vintage Knob describe as a high-end separate. Apart from the anti-skating, which is on the central pillar, it doesn't look that high-end. The rear weight is missing and the stub and is sagging, which appears not to be unique. Bearings seem a bit slack.
Still don't understand how the postage was so cheap.

It was well wrapped with two layers of large cell bubblewrap and didn't encounter any further damage.
The drooping stub seems to be due to it being rubber-mounted to the main body and the rubber aging.
