eBay watch: 1950s Dansette record player

Dansette

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.

Crosley Revolution CR6002 portable record player now available in the UK

Crosley

Some of you might remember that last month we said that the Crosley Revolution CR6002 portable record player was available in the US. At the same time, we said we we expected Urban Outfitters to jump on it in the UK eventually. Well, it just has.

The Revolution is a reworking of the Sound Burger, that favourite of the crate digger, offering (we presume) the same features as the US model, which is portable record playback at 33/45 speeds, full range stereo speakers, battery power, an FM transmitter for firing music over to your audio system wirelessly and a USB socket, so you can easily transfer vinyl to digital formats.

Not sure about instore stock, but the player is available online right now in the ivory colour right now, priced at £165.

eBay watch: 1970s Philips Stereo 292 portable record player

Philips

Yes, we've dug up another vintage vinyl spinner, specifically this Philips Stereo 292 portable record player.

It's a rather cool piece of kit for not a lot of money. Battery or mains operated, the deck is portable, able to slot together should you need to carry it around. But when you need some tunes, remove those speakers for stereo sound on the go.

It plays 33/45 records, has slide controls for volume/tone for each speaker and according to the seller, it works and apart from a few fine age scratches, is in great condition too. Lots of close-up images of the player on the site, with bidding right now at just £1.

eBay watch: 1960s Dansette Tempo portable record player

Dansette

It's a classic Dansette in both shape and colour, oozing authenticity and after being on the receiving end of a full service, working as well today as it did back in 1962. The 4 speed Garrard Autoslim autochanger will play speeds of 16, 33, 45 and 78 rpm manually or can load a selection of up to six records of either 7, 10 or 12 inch to be played automatically.
