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: 1970s Radiola portable record player

Radiola

A real bargain for no money right now, this 1970s Radiola portable record player.

It's an all-in-one player in a bold shade of red, offering up playback of 33/45 records (7 or 12-inch), all of which packs away in a nice briefcase-like design, with the speaker being the front of that 'case'. It's got 'some signs of age', but works fine and looks good for all those years.

Check out lots of images on the eBay site, with the price right now at just £1.

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

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.

Described as a 'very rare and sought-after model', the Hornyphon SA 865 is certainly an eye-catching portable record player.

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.
