• Here for sale is this all original ‘The Beatles Record Player’ model 1000 4 speed phonograph manufactured in early 1964 in The United States. Only 5000 were manufactured & not many have survived over the last 54 years. This record player had a retail price of $29.99 in 1964 and was only sold in the New York area. This record player has been completely restored to fully excellent working condition by one of the best vintage audio repair shops in the Mid West here in Lo...uisville over the last month. They recapped the amplifier, clean & lubed all moving parts and resurface the idler wheel inside. They cleaned & polished the record tone arm bearings and bushings. A new stylus was installed. They also replaced 2 capacitors so now the record player plays without any of the usual hum. This record player of course will play 7” Beatles records but also will play ‘Birthday’ from The White Album with no problem all the way through. The record player takes about a minute of warming up the tubes before playing at full sound. The all original hardware record player is 17 1/2” by 10” by 6’ in size and is in very good condition with slight storage wear to the cabinet. The remmanents of the original foam platter is still there. And most importantly the original serial # tag is still attached the inside lid with a # 440993. This is the fourth & best overall conditioned ‘The Beatles Record Player’ I have owned over the last 45 years of collecting The Beatles & maybe the last since all the survivors are all in private collections. This RARE record player will be double boxed for protection through shipment. Thanks Frank Check our ‘Franks Beatles Record Player’ short video on YouTube to see the player in action!
