AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

For cleaning out.
Very special suitcase gramophone from Acoustical.
In 1960 they acquired the Amsterdam-based gramophone manufacturer Jobo as well.
Probably they used some leftover Jobophone 8 decks to build into a Triotrack Bambino 2 suitcase.
In none of the brochures from Acoustical that I know of will you find this combination.
The suitcase and the gramophone are in very good and pristine condition.
No cracks.
Tubular amplifier with a UCL82 tube.
Good tone control and playback.
3 speeds
Original power cord with plug.
Smooth rubber mat with a spring-loaded 45 rpm large-hole adapter.
Ronette DC284 cartridge element with two good needles.
Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2jqdY08y_0
NB: The arm must be raised to maximum at startup and then moved carefully to the right!
This is because the stop pin under the platter moves fairly freely toward the center.
Furthermore, the photos provide an adequate picture of what is offered.

Will be well packed in reusable bubble wrap. This is charged in the shipping as a Large package!
Shipping within the EU with GLS, outside with PostNL.
There is (unfortunately) always a risk of transport damage by carriers! They tend to handle the goods rather roughly.
