Fine machine. Fine taste in music. I had the honor of watching Sir Paul last summer in Nashville.

Cool record player! I'm guessing that this model RCA portable record player dates from the late 60's. I have an RCA VPP21Y portable record player/AM Radio that was made in 1970. It has a round body with a red and white plaid cloth pattern with a carrying strap made from the same material. It also comes with a fog white top. It's designed to look like a bit like a hat box. Are you familiar with this model? It seems like a fairly rare model since I haven't seen many around.

@blackwaxjh I have the same model but with a different color cloth, its red & yellow. Fun!!

@desoto1961 Awesome Desoto! Actually I made a mistake when I wrote my post last night. Mine also has the same red, yellow, and green cloth on the body and carrying strap. I originally got mine as my first record player for Christmas a few days before my third birthday. A few years later, I accidently snapped the tonearm off, and it was discarded. Luckily I found another one on eBay. It needs a new idler wheel. Do you know where I can find a replacement, or someone who can refurbish the original?

@blackwaxjh West Tech services rebuilds them.

@desoto1961 Thank you very much. I'll definitely check them out. BTW, have ever posted a video of your VPP 21Y record player here? I'd love to see yours in action. :)

[desoto1961]

@blackwaxjh Yes I need to post it!!

[blackwaxjh]

@desoto1961 Great! Love to see it when you do. :)

Too funny when you look back on the one sentence article shown here (5:23) about the Beatles having two hit songs on the Top Ten list. I can remember how I would scurry off to the record dept. when my mother was shopping at any store chain and look for any old or new 45 record of the Beatles. Fond memories.

[desoto1961]

[RaymondTVinyl]
