Turntable on a speaker - I thought that was not advised.

Why though? Because vibrations from a speaker can cause the turntable to move and move the arm or cause the needle to move.

In a jazz cafe, I assume the music plays low most of the time and so it probably doesn't matter much.

Depends how well the turntable is decoupled from its plinth. Think in terms of a lumped systems model with a mass on a spring being driven by (probably lower frequency) vibrations from the speakers.

"Now that I think about it, there was nothing in this shop that would tell you it isn’t still, say, 1960."

I'd go for 1980s based on the amplifier, turntable and speakers. It would be a radiogram, probably valve based, in actual 1960s. Nice though.
