CLASSIC SIXTIES “BSR” PORTABLE VINTAGE RECORD PLAYER – FULLY SERVICED & WORKING
Fully serviced from bakelite_ed – 100% Feedback
This is a classic “BSR” vintage record player from the early sixties that has been fully serviced and is offered in full working order.
There is no name on this machine other than BSR, (manufacturer of the deck), so I would assume this was sold through a catalogue or department store as their ‘own brand’. It would appear to have been a budget model of the time, as it’s very simple, but I have fully serviced the amplifier (virtually all parts replaced – all new capacitors, one replacement valve, replacement audio transformer and replacement cartridge), and it now sounds as good as it did when new – admittedly not hi-fi but would have gone down a storm in a teenagers bedroom as their first record player for playing the top of the pops!
It is a twin valve amplifier (UL84 output + UY85 rectifier) & offers rotary controls for ON/OFF, VOLUME and TONE.
The 4 speed ‘UA25’ auto-changer plays 16, 33, 45 and 78 rpm and up to six records can be loaded for automatic operation or records can be played manually if preferred.
The high output cartridge is mono / stereo compatible & has a new BSR ST10 twin tipped stylus.
Cosmetically, it has been fully cleaned inside & out and looks smart with a pale to sky blue lid and base with flecked red grille cloth and off-white inner lid. Do note a few marks and rubs to the casing (which I have tried to show in the photographs) but remember this is 55 years old, and on that basis, it has survived remarkably well indeed. Overall this is a wonderfully nostalgic way to enjoy hearing your old records ‘the original sixties way’.
It has a new mains lead & a correctly fused mains plug & will come with a copy of the original instruction leaflet for the record deck.
