Any clue what model turntable this is?

Found an ad locally for a free vintage turntable and one large speaker. I'm trying to figure out what model the turntable is and if it has any value. It's in a large floor standing cabinet. The speaker looks like possibly an electrovoice Aristocrat but it might be too large. I think there's a chance it might have an Altec 604 inside. It's about a two hour drive from me, so it'd be nice to know if it was worth the drive.

Turntable could be a Webster, they frequently used those curved spindles and the side-mounted record stabilizer. Sometimes sold as Magnavox.

Thanks for the information. I think you're right. Looks exactly like a Garrard RC 88. Probably won't make the drive then. Although the large speaker looks interesting. It's located up in Maine if anyone is interested on facebook marketplace.

Definitely all about the speaker. 4 hour round trip on a chance does sound like a lot unless there is other biz or stuff on the estate sale site.
 
Yeah, Garrard RC/88. Fair chance of a decent cartridge on it--lots of those had GE VRII or other decently high-end carts. If there's a turntable in that console, there might be an amp in there as well underneath, right? Two hours is a haul, but it might be worth checking out.

True about the amp. Old enough to be tube?
