That is one of several different brands, building turntables, more or less based
on B&O's Beogram 1000.
We saw a couple of these before:

The cartridge looks like an Ortofon OM / OMB to me. Quite nice carts actually, I have a little project with one coming up :)

They fit on standard headshells.

Thanks for the link Martin, interesting info - it seems Labcraft was an Australian company but I can find very little information about them.  Most of these tt's seem to be located in Adelaide so may have been a South Australian based company.  Can find very little info on other forums (vinylengine, audiokarma etc).  I did find a thread suggesting they were mainly used in radio stations due to their quality?? 

Shame the asking price is so ridiculous, it would be interesting to have a closer look and a listen to it...
