Description

The BEATLES 1964 Very Rare Beatles Record Player in Excellent to Near Mint- condition !!!

Offered is a 1964 Beatles Record Player(Phonograph)!!! The record player is in Excellent to Near Mint- Condition. There is only very minor wear to the corners of the case and a few small scuffs here and there. The case is solid, the vinyl outer covering is in great condition, the chrome metal pieces are all nice and shiny with absolutely no rust, the front speaker cloth still has nearly all of the original silver outlining, there is still a small bit of original foam on the turntable plus the record player works great!!! The outside picture is all there and in nice condition as is the inside photograph of the band. Everything works with good tone and volume controls. The tone arm has the original 45/33 needle plus it still has the 78 needle on the flip side! It works on all 4 speeds too! The photographs of the Beatles on the inside and outside are still bright and vivid with no fading at all!! The top photograph of the band usually is missing or torn partially off; this one is really quite nice!!! All sides are pictured including the bottom. The bottom has the most scuffs as you can imagine but there are no major distractions. The electric cord is not frayed. The foam on the turntable has deteriorated as is common to all Beatle record players from 1964. This is an extremely well made item!!! For those of you over 50, you already know that the frilly items from the 1950s and 1960s were constructed of materials to last! Not so anymore these days!!! This item was built to last as it is constructed of a fully "solid wood" inner core, then it is covered by a very thick and long lasting cloth/vinyl material. All of the metal attachments to the record player are made of heavy gauged chromed metal. The record player is quite heavy also probably weighing nearly 15 pounds. The dimensions of the player are quite large too: 18” wide by 11” deep by 7” high. It makes a very impressive display item with the cover open standing nearly 20” tall!! This is the cornerstone piece of any serious Beatles collection!!! A super nice conditioned Beatles record player!!! VERY COOL!!! GOOD LUCK!!!
