From The Grave
One particular member hereabouts has been spending many a happy hour lately reliving his yoof with a similar device.
So what memories do you have of such mechanical wonderment?
I remember having something simular in bright red not sure what it was though to play all my singles on back in the late seventies, i also remember fiddlling with it by adding a second speaker and also getting a 240 volt belt of it as it was still switched on when moddifying, my first mains shock i think ,
oh year i had to blu-tack on a 2 pence piece to stop it jumping on certain records

"Blu-tack" surely that would have been Plasticene in the 70's ?
It could well of been plasticine, blu-tack was invented in 1970 and we are talking late seventies it was about then that everyone discoved it i'm sure, my bedroom wall was covered in posters using it. i thought i used Blu-tack to hold down the arm whilst playing my Blondie parallel Lines album

This is what I had back when I was a kid - a Bush Monarch. Using it was the first chance I got to 'drive' and therefore decide what music I listened to. My parents lived to regret it!

1977 was the first time I ever saw Blu-Tack!
Looks like I'm ending up with this below -
Below is similar to what I grew up with (the steady arm was different but the rest of it is the same and ours had the spindly legs too -
Below, my other record player - transformer coupled out with PP valve circuit, which sounds fantastic with 78's but is now in need of recapping (and hopefully not new valve bases which crumble on these)
Tear down these walls; Cut the ties that held me
Crying out at the top of my voice; Tell me now if you can hear me
