Old Style Record Player

Smileylynz

Just wondering if anyone would know where to get a record player. My dad had loads of records in the attic but no record player. I would like to get him one for christmas


Thanks

Roches stores had a great little player sold as a seperate that can play 33/45/78 for €45 about five months ago. If you head down stairs in Roches in Henry street and ask in the electronics dept. I got one for a mate and its still going strong I think its a Bush if my memory serves me correctly.

As an aside, I remember my former manager telling me the following [true] story a few years ago:

My son was going on an on about something and I told him he sounded like a broken record. He looked at me and asked "what's a record?"

now that's crazy!

When I was in the US a couple of weeks ago I went to split rock lighthouse in Duluth, Minnesota. It's preseved and restored at the time its was built and used (late 1800's IIRC).

Anyway, they had a working edison phonograph, the type that played from cylindrical tubes. Its the one on the top right of the page. Was pretty cool to see it run, always amazes me how purley mechanical devices like that can produce sound, pretty loud too!

Hi Smiley

I've got one in my parents attic along with my LPs
it does 33s,45. More of a "seperate" than a old record player i.e. plugs into your amp with audio leads

Good condition, reasonable brand but 120V (transformer euro17 Maplin) If you are interested, I'll check it out when next at home.... ?
