Anyone can fall in love by Doris Day 1955

Anyone can fall in love by Doris Day popular in 1955. Played on a 1955 Pilot portable HI-FI using the original Columbia 78 record. The Pilot portable hi-fi has an 8 inch woofer and 4 inch tweeter. Powered by a 6v6 tube amp with equalization settings foreign, LP, RIAA, and 78. The changer is a Garrad RC 88 with a GE magnetic cartridge. The quality in this portable was considerably better than most portables in it's day. An internet radio suggestion for listening to the great American classics from the 1920's to the 1980's in a 1950's style of broadcasting http://www.krli.net/

It looks identical to my Garrard 121/4 - what, if any, are the differences? Also, I just found NOS stylus on ebay for the GE/VR - what is the correct pressure for this cartridge? Thanks! Great sound and post, btw!

@luvmyrecords I believe most Garrard changers of that era are similar, and around 5 grams is an ok tracking pressure for this stylus

is this a 78 inch vinyl

[maynardcat]

@scotstricker No this is not vinyl, it is just a standard 1950's shellac 78 Columbia record

I have an RC88/4 (It looks to be the same changer except mine is painted brown and is fitted in it's own wooden base - I figured that mine was from '58-'61, but I guess I was wrong). Cosmetically, it's in excellent shape, but it definitely needs to be cleaned internally, as I think that the spindle is a bit gunked-up. For my regular LP's, I'm using a minty '69 Dual 1019that I'm in love with.

Nice restoration.

I have a few Dual changers two 1224's.,a 1219, and 1229. The 1219 is posted playing short shorts by the Royal Teens. I believe the Garrard RC 88 was introduced in 1955 and was conisdered one of the better changers at that time. I'm not sure how long they made that model The Garrard type A was in the early 1960's. I have just an Garrard RC 88 changer that works ok, that I bought just to get the GE cartridge.

@maynardcat Thanks so much!

That's wacky, gangtwanger -- I've been in love with my also minty Dual 1019 for years, but I just recently got an RC-88/4! I gotta get its changer mech working, but with the GE VRII cartridge, it's the best mono sound I've ever heard -- out of more than 25 record players I have around here. And it was free!

That's quite a stack on the changer, and I enjoyed watching it in action. I like it when we get to see the changer in action as well as hearing the nice tunes from a turely great era in music.
