eBay watch: 1950s standing Dansette record player

Posted on | 1 Comment

Dansette

Perfect got an 1950s or early-60s-themed home, this 1950s standing Dansette record player, available right now on eBay.

Details are very scarce on the listing, but we love the classic looks, even if its ability to play records isn't clear. The seller says they 'believe it to be in working condition'. However, they 'have no records to check'. Couldn't afford 20p to pick one up at your local charity shop? Despite not being able to get a record, they do offer to get it checked out for you by an electrician…at a price of £15 on top of the final price.

None of which fills you with confidence, but there's no denying that this is a a stylish item and for a vintage Dansette, incredibly cheap right now at just £20.

eBay watch: 1970s Philips 303 UFO record player by Patrice Dupont

Posted on | Leave a comment

Ufo

We have featured this design before in our eBay slot, but we are covering this 1970s Philips 303 UFO record player by Patrice Dupont once more because this example is just so cheap.

That could be because of a couple of minor problems – the battery cover is missing and there's a crack on the hinge. Neither affect operation and everything else is just fine. In fact, it even comes with a rare blue lid as a bonus, so that's something.

Which all makes it something of a bargain. Right now this UFO record player is at just £1. We have seen these making £300+ in the past, which gives you an idea of how much of a steal this is.

Not unlike the Philips players we've featured in the past, this one has a lucite smokey-grey lid with integrated speaker, integrated handle and the option to use with battery of mains. When it comes to our vinyl, it's good for 33, 5 and 78-speed records.

Philips

A real bargain on eBay right now – this unused 1970s Philips 133 portable record player.

Dating back to the 1970s, it is indeed described as 'mint condition' and 'real museum quality', so we can presume this is a pretty decent model being offered. Features include battery or mains power, a 70s orange colour scheme, 33/45/78 speeds and a speaker that doubles as a case, complete with integrated handle.

All of that right now for just £1. Yes, you read that right.

Wood

It's made (partly) of wood and it's a turmtable, making this the Wood Turntable at Urban Outfitters.

Of course, it's not all wood – there's some plastic too, not to mention the electrics to make the thing tick. Switch it on and you can playback good old-fashioned vinyl at 33/45/78, as well as accessing AM/FM radio, all through the built-in speakers or headphones plugged into the jack.

It retails online for $88. If you like the look, but want a deck for using with your PC, there's also a USB version available for $128.
