    Thanks for the kind words and you are absolutely correct, I'm in the absolute worst geographic location for this sort of thing. With that said, if I was close to him or if he was close to me, we'd try to work out a deal. Here, I could have all of those 100% restored and try to sell the whole lot for $200 and a flea market flipper would offer me $50, and then I'd say something ugly. As far as shipping, I just mailed a '50's kiddie record player within the state and it was boxed as small as I could get it and have it arrive safely, and it was a few cents shy of $40.

    • @radiotvphononut
      @radiotvphononut Před 2 lety +5

      @@cipherthedemonlord8057 I'm pretty sure the Westinghouse is a "one tube wonder" and the TravLer might also be the same. The biggest issue with those is they require a 3 volt crystal cartridge and those have not been made in decades. If you're lucky enough to find a NOS cartridge that is still good, it's probably going to be expensive and your only other options are to install a modern 0.5V ceramic cartridge and live with very low volume, or build a preamp circuit to boost the cartridge output up to 3V.

    My parents got my sister , my brother , and I two different PHILCO STEREO RECORD CHANGERS with
    "S AND H GREEN STAMPS" in the early 1960's . My brother and I shared one and this one had speakers
    that were both removable . My sister's record changer had only one removable speaker . My mother and
    two of her sisters would combine their "S AND H GREEN STAMPS" books for different members of the
    family .We were all teenaged "baby boomers" and that was great ! I still remember that they were the
    tube - type sets that used the "60FX5" tube . These were like the TV's at the time where you would have
    to wait about a minute for the tubes to warm up before you could hear any sound .

    Wow! Until now I had totally forgotten these record players existed. Memories are coming back now. I recall my sister had a suitcase record player with a detachable speaker snapped to it for stereo. I also remember friends having these too. My interests back then were listening to AM radio for my entertainment. Gee, 60 years goes by pretty fast.

    I am pretty much a record player person myself. There is a few really really good ones in that pile I see a brown Columbia 360 in a leather case. Definitely the ones with the VM 1200 record Changers and push-pull amplifiers would definitely be worth restoring. That round Emerson that looks like a ladies hair dryer I actually have that in Black. Definitely definitely a lot of good stuff in that pile. I can also tell you there is a Motorola 3 channel in that pile and a gray case. Now I noticed there are no 45 players in that pile these are all three speed and 4-speed phonographs. RADIOTVPHONONUT would have every one of these running and perfect mint condition.

    This collection just took me back fifty years when he swung around and showed the grey/white Westinghouse with the tone/volume knobs! I had the exact same one in my bedroom, bought from my elementary school at a thrift sale for a dollar. It had a two tube amp (35W4 and 50C5 if memory serves) and a BSR UA15 four speed turntable. I played the crap out of it for years. Nice haul. I never saw so many in one place.

    What's so cool about these types of suitcase record players to me is, every single one of them is a slightly different design that does basically the same thing, but you can tell at some point in the design process some dude sat down with a piece of paper and a pencil, and just drew some crazy ass design with a few knobs on it, and a slightly different shape, and some different colors than you would expect, and then it got approved! It's just so cool how every single one of them has a slightly different look. I've got about 10 of them myself, it's hard to resist the damn things when you see them for sale somewhere!

Those Admirals are AWESOME (I have a complete 2 piece unit). They have a PP 6BQ5 stereo console grade amp loud enough to fill an entire house with music. **Both units need to be kept together.** One cabinet is the speakers (they separate from each other when the case is open), and the other cabinet is the changer and amp (without speakers).
