AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Here is a beautiful 1970s Space Age Philips record player, known in France as the CURLING and as POMPON in the Netherlands and Germany. Philips industrial design—not, as you repeatedly see online, a design by Patrice or Patrick Dupont, who do not exist!
Runs on 110 / 127 / 220 / 240 V AC or 6 x 1.5-volt LR14 batteries, not included (it is currently set to 220/240 volts).
6-transistor + 3-diode record player
It can play 33, 45 and 78 rpm records, with automatic shutoff at the end of the record. The stylus is in very good condition, and it comes with its 45 rpm adapter.
Overall condition is excellent, very close to new. It is complete and has been fully serviced by a technician/collector, with defective parts replaced. It works perfectly and has remarkable sound—and what a Space Age design! (Speed adjusted using a stroboscope.)
Dimensions: W: 300 H: 120 D: 300 (mm)
Weight: 2.3 kg
(The last two photos show 1970s advertisements and are not included in the sale.)
It will be shipped via Chronopost or equivalent, carefully packed and insured (see our feedback).
A little reminder for some people:
Bidding is not a game, so once you’ve bought something ... it must be paid for promptly, not three weeks later—or not at all! It’s simply a matter of showing respect for one another ...
You can also visit radioteppaz.fr our little museum/site, where you’ll see some collectible devices that are not for sale but are nice to look at.
