1963 PHILIPS MIGNON 45rpm RECORD PLAYER

Here is my very cool looking and nice sounding 1963 PHILIPS MIGNON battery operated 45rpm record player. Imported from Germany, this record player, or "plattenspieler" operates on 4 size "D" batteries and has a hefty amplifier and speaker. I installed a new PHILIPS needle and this beauty sounds GREAT!

I added a special treat for all you vintage audio fans and removed the top cover so you can see the record while it is playing. I chose a 45 with a nice colorful label to add to the effect!

ENJOY! ;)

fyi i lost the ebay auction! i bid up to $72 and figured that was enough for a record

player that didnt work,lol.of course the winner bid a dollar more and won

@chompo7 That's too bad. Well, they tend to pop up here and there. Save your money for a unit that works!

[frangiul13]

@chompo7 OMG, that is too funny!!! I definitely will be rooting for you. These Philips units when working, sound great, and yes, people don' t have a clue. How can someone leave corroded batteries in something like this and expect it to work???

[chompo7]

@frangiul13 lol im already watching it! i thought the same thing about the corrosion being the problem.

i just a commodore tiny transister phono from the 60's and the seller said it didnt work.it worked fine

for me.amazing how some people have no clue,hahah.thanks for the heads up and wish me luck!

@chompo7 There currently is a Philips on eBay, but it's a bit older than mine. The seller could not get it to work, but he took a pic of the inside and it looks like there are two D size batteries that have been left in there. Probably some cleaning of the terminals may get the motor to work. I couldn't post the link here, but do a search: VINTAGE PHILIPS SLOT 45 RECORD PLAYER and you can see it :) :)

@frangiul13 thanks frank

i have been looking on ebay but my italian is rusty,lol.regular ebay i cant find any!

[frangiul13]

@chompo7 Ciao, Giuseppe! Come Stai? I rarely see those, and when I do, they are usually on eBay. But they fetch a pretty penny. That's usually the place where you would have luck finding one. Try going eBay International, and maybe you can buy one from overseas. Good luck!! :)
