Battery Powered turntable / record player: Rechargeable w/ Charger, 33, 45 and 78 RPM, Speakers - Recording Output - Headphone Output (for private listening)

-> Ever wished you had a portable battery powered record player out there in the field (garage sales, flea markets, antique stores. etc.) -> to check out records before you buy? -> I still remember that day at an antique store way in the back country where they had loads of 78s, but too expensive to buy lots, to decide later which I'd like, so I desired a player for that purpose right with me ever since, and I now finally put my hand to it to make that dream come true: Yes, It actually plays records - and quite well (!) and 78's properly. I custom modified with a flip-over stylus for LP/78 (!) - and: to a rechargeable battery (8-10 hours operation between charges), so can be used on AC or fully portable anywhere. It plays 33, 45 and 78 RPM - and plays records up to 12". The built-in speakers sounds it a bit "tinny", but the unit has a line output jack for external amplifier hookup / recording - PLUS: a head phone jack (great sound, mutes the speakers for private listening!) - or allows to hook up an external pair of 8 Ohm speakers there.

Features:

  • 33, 45 and 78 RPM with Flip over Stylus for LP/78
  • Rechageable Battery + AC Charger (8-10 hours operation between charges)
  • Built-In amplifer: speakers, line level/recording output
  • headphone jack - mutes internal speakers for private listening -or: allows for external speaker hook-up

Lot: custom modified Crosly CR-40 mini record player: replaced the phono cartridge with one that has a "Flip over" stylus for 78 - added rechargeable battery (runs the unit for 8-10 hours between charges) - comes with charger - modified to provide a head phone output - installed a "pilot" LED that reminds to turn off the amplifier when not in use (as to not drain the battery)

Condition: Works, new phono cartridge with new "flip-over" needle installed - expected to give lasting performance - please see details in "purchase agreement" below • Physical Condition: Used with sings of age and use - scratches, tears, dings, discoloring.

Work performed to present this unit: repaired to fully working, then modified: I upgraded the phono cartridge with a new one one that has a "flip-over" needle to have all that is needed to play records and 78's properly. Then I added and installed a rechargeable battery pack - the included external power supply allows to charge the internal battery and has a charging indicator (turns green when charged). Modified to provide a head phone output that mutes the speakers when head phone plug inserted - installed a "pilot" LED that reminds to turn off the amplifier when not in use (as to not drain the battery)

PURCHASE AGREEMENT - All Sales are: "AS-IS”, FINAL - and: NOT RETURNABLE, NO REFUNDS: LET’s do all that is needed to make sure to get you exactly what you need - BEFORE your purchase (Not returnable)! PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS - I am here to assist. All items are used and VINTAGE - sold "AS-IS" (-> vintage = often 45+ years old!!!) and even with the best of refurb / repair work STILL CAN FAIL) and thus is sold without warranty or guarantees of any kind (AS-IS). I aim to perform all work that I foresee necessary, to provide equipment in well and reliably working condition - refurbish in as much detail as possible - and test thoroughly, to gain confidence through testing, to predict that it will last, but cannot guarantee that. Once work complete, it is still possible that something be wrong or can go wrong with it (vintage!) - Prices of items offered here reflect the work that went into a given piece of gear until it is listed, but cannot cover what a given piece may need or may need in the future - that would be at your risk and expense - If there are defects, problems or shortcomings: I will be glad to help and likely I can repair, but it will be at additional cost - I do service what I sell at my regular shop rate. Any shipping costs responsibility of the buyer.
