[stewie100]

Thank you so much for sharing the video! I had a record player when I was 3 (back in 1969) looking very much like the one you shown! Sadly, after several house moving and all that, I never got to see it again.  Been my life-long dream to have one exactly like that again ever since. Would you happen to have the model number?

[AG3304]

@adamas66 Sorry to hear about your lost player.There's no model number shown on this,but they were made as valve mains-only and also as battery-mains transistorized machines.Ebay's a great place to look for one of these as they always seem to have a few old Philips sets on there.

actually.. it did say how to place tthe batteries haha! nice record player!

[Pietero555]

a ha.. I'll look into it when I'm done with my exams at school :p ;)

Thanks a lot!

[Pietero555]

What do you call that wheel below the volumewheel? What's it function?

I'm reparing a similar player for a friend and don't really know what it is for..

The table itself doesn't turn on itself, I had to give it a spin, when i put the needle on, it slows back down..

[AG3304]

@Pietero555 There's a tone control under the volume control on this.lt sounds as if there might be a tired or weak spring that holds the idler against the turntable on your friend's one.

[adamellender]

Very crude!!!

[AG3304]

No trimmings,except the tone control!

[Lachlant1984]

Can you use this unit on the mains? Is the cartridge/stylus mono or stereo?

[AG3304]

This is mains or battery,but you'd need a rather strange mains lead!The cartridge is the usual GP205 type,and is stereo.

[batterymaker]

I take that back--yours is a lot fancier than the one I have. Mine's very basic.

[AG3304]

Sounds like it could well be,as you say,an earlier one.Have you tried it?

[batterymaker]

I have an earlier model of that one. Played pretty good, haven't used it in ages.

[AG3304]

They made various versions down the years,some were stereo,and all with that detachable cartridge,which made them easy to change the stylus!

[kenfig]

i had one too ; was yours virtually identical to this except that there was no 16 speed, a plainer looking turntable with a rubber mat & no shiny chrome on the tone arm or stylus also a slightly different looking speaker / lid

[retrochad]

That really sounds good...that's a pretty substantial record player, sometimes these portables will be be smaller and have the speaker underneath the record.

[AG3304]

l know the sort-there was a Fidelity model sold here that was like that.VERY tinny that was too,with a mini BSR turntable.

Singing sounded like they'd blocked up their noses!Everything else?Rubbish.
