BEAUTIFUL 1953 VOICE OF MUSIC TRIOMATIC 990 RECORD PLAYER

Back Again!! Here is my beautiful 1953 Voice Of Music Model# 990 record player. This is one of my absolute favorites! This gem was manufactured November 4, 1953 and is a stunning 55 years young! Amp was overhauled and a new Sonotone needle was installed. Sounds SWEET! Just love the two-tone case with coral and gold accents! My little "Indian" likes to listen to it!!

Cool!! I'm gonna be getting a 1956 Voice of Music changer model 1200 portable soon!!

Great! Would love to see a video of it!

I just scored this identical player a couple days ago, but I think the LP side needle is shot...and its not the original cartridge either. Case is in bad shape, but seems like I should be able to get it going without too too much work. Got other projects before it though. Nice vid, thanks!

[frangiul13]

Just responded to your 990 vid. It sounds pretty good for having a replacement cartridge. Also, not too much hum in the amp. Was your amp re-capped? Usually these particular players hum like a mother and require cap replacement. I rebuilt the amp for my 990 playing above.

[Falcons66]

Yeah, My first runs with it were on the LP side and it was awful. I took the vid for the next owner, and about craped when I heard how good it sounded on 78! Its possible its been redone, i really dont know. Based on the cabinet condition, I would say not likely. But maybe someone recapped it and put a cartridge in it many years ago when it was in better shape. If this was as clean as my 52, Id keep it. But I see it as a 'project', one I dont need right now (especially since I cant rebuild amps)

[frangiul13]

Yup, can relate to that. I have too many "projects" and just don't seem to have the time to work on them all ;)

[Falcons66]

Me again. Ive decided to sell the 990. Its more of a trade-off really, as I will be getting my Webcor Melody amp rebuilt as part of a trade. I was kind of over my limit anyway, so I had to kind of downsize a bit. But I still have my 52 VM that Ill always keep.

[frangiul13]

Thanks for the comment Falcon66! You also have some very nice phonos too! These particular VM Triomatic models are very unique, and I have lots of fun playing my

990's Good luck resurecting your latest find!
