The early record players were almost as brutish as the old-fashioned wind-up gramaphones.Just look at the playing head of this record player. Put the needle on your finger and you have to be brave to let go with your other hand on the playing head! These players wore out records in no time.
They turn up fairly regularly and almost every antiques shop will have one. The problem for collectors is that these, like the first radios, are not so much a piece of sound equipment as a piece of furniture!
You would have to have a mansion to house a collection of these. I'll stick to Dansettes!
