Description

Here we have an authentic collectable reproduction Edison vintage record player - this is a very unusual piece of history.
The player is fully working and will come complete with one 78rpm record so you can test it as soon as it arrives.
The base is black wood with brass feature decorative tubes with a dark red horn and is in great condition
Briefly it consists of a rotating turntable that operates by winding the handle at the side and then placing the needle on the record and releasing the brake. There is even a speed control - a bit like an early 1210 (DJ style)
The 78 records really put a new spin on the technique of scratch mixing - its more like scratchy mixing
The sound is amplified by the sound box attached to the needle clamp and then further amplified by the horn.
This is an absolute must for your retired DJs
A very interesting working piece of history - this is where it all started - the first portable - no so much hi-fi but very lo-fi record deck.
There are still lots of very usable 78rpm records out there - some of which have some great and very much forgotten tunes.
Buy one of these - get a few 78s and open a new forgotten world of early music. I have used this to record a few interesting songs from way back and now have them on my Ipod. We are moving into a small house and just dont have enough space for all my bits and pieces so some lucky person will get a chance to own this fantastic machine.
offered with a very low starting price and NO RESERVE
Due to the nature of this delicate piece of machinery it would be wise to pick up. I would package for a courier if necessary but this would cost 53 pounds to send - UK only please - I will not take responsibility for the courier but will package very very well to prevent damage.
