AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Geloso model G.284-V phonograph suitcase, an authentic jewel of Italian industrial design and late-1950s modernism. Produced in Milan by the renowned Geloso company, this model fully embodies the era of the economic boom and the birth of the first high-quality portable audio equipment.

The device is housed in its splendid original two-tone suitcase-style case (cream and strawberry red), featuring a carrying handle and metal closures.

Inside it hosts an internal valve amplifier with an integrated speaker protected by a gold grille on the top panel.

The mechanical selector allows playback at the four standard speeds of the era: 16, 33, 45, and 78 rpm.

On the front panel are the original Geloso factory marks in excellent condition and the knobs for tone and volume control.

Technical Details:
• Manufacturer: Geloso (Milan, Italy)
• Model: Amplified Complex G.284-V
• Period: circa 1958–1960
• Power supply: Variable voltage (90 ÷ 220V) - Frequency: 50 Hz
• Speeds: 16, 33, 45, 78 RPM

The item presents excellent overall cosmetic condition considering its age. The external case covering shows a natural vintage patina and minor signs of wear. The original braided power cord and the period plug are included.

Note for the buyer:
As this is a vintage valve electronic device that has been idle for some time, it is sold as a collectible/display item. A technical inspection is advised before powering it up.
