Thanks for the pictures. Looking at outside photos it wasn't even obvious that there is a conventional tonearm buried inside the lid. Is the mechanism auto-return ? I guess the Size selector knob on top sets the start position by moving the arms start point.
Nice! I'd love to find one of those, I feel like in the next few years the cool little tables will be ultra-collectable, they just don't turn up much and they are so groovy!
Yep, the size selector sets the start position, and locks it up for safe transport, and in "auto-speed" mode it sets the speed for a 7"to 45 rpm, and a 10" and 12" to 33 rpm. Auto-return..... In a way it is! After playing you record, you open the lid, and gravity makes the stylus auto return to the start position.
Looks like were back online! Here's a cool General Electric RP 3100, too bad it's a little out of my price range. It looks like it would clean up nicely. https://www.ebay.com/itm/224840369960
A little larger than most of these, this Philips is still impressive, I don't see a model number and I hope some idiot didn't try playing a disc that was meant for a toy turntable. I might do some late-night research for the beer and boombox thread and pounce on this one, I love the way the closed box looks. https://www.ebay.com/itm/224842154891
Honey-7 from Bell Onkyo, some of these are really neat, they were probably pretty cheap when they came out https://www.ebay.com/itm/144402146632
This is a really wild version, it looks like a transistor radio from the outside but it has an internal record player. I can't read the model number, maybe Sharp FXG-700? https://www.ebay.com/itm/304381184348
I don't know if this was posted on this forum but Audio-Technica re-released a new version of the Sound Burger last year and it sold out quickly. I was just talking to my Tokyo Buddy and he said they're making more! Just found this press release link from a few months ago, I don't think they're for sale yet, he said soon. https://www.audio-technica.com/en-u...release-of-sound-burger-portable-turntable-2/
Yes; and it still has the Techmoan's approval (he used it again recently) Do I need a new one when I already have an old one ?
This came up on Ebay, a National Panasonic SG-100 that resembles an early Sound Burger. This version has a radio and cassette, maybe the first to have all three? I have an early JVC but I don't know which when these came out. https://www.ebay.com/itm/276005554902?
