My dad was a Panasonic dealer in the 60s (one of very few in Chicago at the time), and he sold record players, but none of the novelty ones like the ones in the post, otherwise I’m sure we would have had one of each. (It is possible that they didn’t even sell these in the US, as they are “National”-branded.) The cool kids all had the mangiadischi 
My wife says she had one, but she’s not been able to find it in her parents’ basement, so I’ve not been able to get a post-childhood look at one.
