No love for the vintage General Electric Wildcat portable phonograph?


I carted this around - everywhere - And yes, I still have my Batman album…

Reminds me of some of the stuff Adam Saltsman has been putting up on Tumblr.

BRIONVEGA - Doney 12 television (1967)

Actually, some of these are on there:

WEGA - 3300 turntable (1963)

WELTRON - model 2005 turntable (1970-1980)

Seems to me the logical extension of these would be a fidget cube with a built-in MP3 player.

Is there nothing like the Egg anymore? Looks cushy.

My father sold both Panasonic and Electrohome turntables in the late 60s/early 70s, but (alas) none of the exotic ones. We had a Webcor (Webster Corporation of Chicago) at home, the kind that packs up into a leather suitcase.

It’s so dated… but it appears it’s by the same group that did the soundtrack for the TV series. Alas, I no longer have the ability to play it. I mean I could actually track down someone I know who still owns a turntable, but I don’t want to destroy any good stylus’s trying to play it. Remember, it is from 1966 and was owned by a 10 year old. Probably sounds like crap now.

He has to date to maintain his playboy secret identity.
