We love a Dansette, as you might have noticed, with this Dansette Conquest record player well worth keeping an eye on.
eBay watch: 1960s Dansette RG.31 with legs
Not just another Dansette, this Dansette RG.31 comes with legs and a radio.
It dates back to 1964 and has apparently been serviced, so it is in full working order and 'very good condition'. Those legs are original too. The RG.31 has a four-valve amplifier, with controls for treble, bass, on/off and wave change. The latter for the built-in radio, which is tuned with the dial on the front. To finish things off, the bakelite Dansette emblem lights up when it is turned on. Check out the listing for the full lowdown.
Complete with a replacement stereo compatible cartridge and brand new stylus, the Dansette RG.31 is currently at just £1.60 right now. Definitely one to keep an eye on.
eBay watch: 1960s Dansette Viva record player in mint condition
Yes, there are plenty of cheaper Dansette record players on eBay, but none in quite the condition of this 1960s Dansette Viva record player.
It's described as being in 'perfect working order' and 'stunning condition'. Indeed, you might well think it was a new model. That's because the turntable, motor and inner workings have been serviced, any worn parts have been replaced, it has a new plug, new stylus and the casing has even been re-upholstered. It's almost perfect, but still has that valve amp for a rich, vintage sound.
Check out the other photos on the listing to see how impressive this is. £89.99 is the current (and opening) price. If you got it for anywhere near that, it would be an absolute bargain.
eBay watch: Serviced and restored 1950s Dansette Major record player
We love a record player, as you might have noticed, with this 1950s Dansette Major record player just catching our eye.
It appeals for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it's a Dansette, an icon of an era and still a functional record player in its own right. But even better, this one has been fully serviced and restored by a Dansette service engineer, so everything works, from the valves to the auto-changer. It even comes with the relevant paperwork and stylus details.
It is worth noting that this late-50s player is in original, rather than restored condition, so expect some wear over the years. However, it is described as being in 'excellent clean' condition, with original bronzed hinges, lid fasteners, and carry handle mounts, as well as the original black and gold model label, and address label. Right now, the bidding is at £10.50 with no reserve.

Not a great deal of detail offered about this 1950s Dansette record player, but enough to know it's a very good example for not a lot of money.
According to the seller, the Dansette is in 'first class order' and 'works perfectly'. It also shows no signs of wear both inside and out and comes with the original inspection tab and guarantee medallion on the handle, still fresh over 50 years on.
All of which makes this a steal right now at just £5.
