Historical context:

LESA was a highly respected Italian manufacturer, founded in 1929, which, besides record players, made high-quality electronic components. Unfortunately, the company had to close its doors in 1972 due to intense competition from cheaper electronics from the Far East. The SC 1903 is one of the last series the brand released.
