Tiny transistor 45 RPM record player
I like Pete Verrando's Commodore Micro Record Player as much as I like his taste in music!
This 45 rpm player is early '70s Japanese vintage, and employs a crystal cartridge with a 3 transistor amplifier. The label "Precision Transistorized Instrument" is molded into the cover. Precisely or not, it works very well after some cleanup and lubrication.Pete also made a cool retro iPod dock/guitar amp from an old piece of Philco instrumentation.
