Here is a superb classic original example of a 1962 Dansette a "Tempo" record player fully restored electrically , mechanically & cosmetically to as new working condition! This is not a modern plastic poor quality imitation but a genuine 1960s made in England Dansette Tempo! finished in red & gold patterned cream rexine, its fitted with gleaming brass effect fittings & latches, The turntable is a quality Garrard Autoslim turntable that plays speeds of 16, 33, 45 & 78rpm about 8 records can be stacked & will be played automatically in turn one after the other or manually if preferred two controls are mounted on the front one a combined on/off volume, & a tone, there is a red pilot light that comes on when the player is switched on, The iconic Dansette badge is to the left.     

This Dansette "Tempo" dates from 1962 & is in the great looking vibrant rose red, for me its one of the best looking of all the 1960s record players and it was without a doubt a great looking Dansette of the 1960s it sums up & captures the swinging sixties to perfection with its perfect 60s design & unlike a lot of other popular dansettes that came out in the 1950s the Tempo is a true 60s design classic! many companies made record players but none had quite the style & classic look and variety of colours that Dansettes had they are now regarded as design icons & they truly sum up a golden age of music and are now highly collectable, and for me there is no better authentic way to hear those classic 60s records as they were heard at the time on authentic period equipment!     

This "Tempo" has been stripped & cleaned inside & out, cosmetically this is now in great condition, the pictures speak for themselves of course being over 50 years old it would be impossible to have this in mint condition! the brass effect latches & hinges all gleam,  the lettering for the control knobs is clear and easy to read this has not been rubbed away as is often the case with these decals, the turntable mat is original and still soft its also in the lesser seen sand colour most Autoslim mats were black! It will come supplied with copys of the original turntable operating instructions and the Dansette Tempo instructions as pictured!        

The single valve amplifier has been serviced with any out of spec components being replaced including new capacitors, for safety its now fitted with a new double insulated earthed mains cable, a 3amp correct fuse is fitted to the plug, It will come supplied with a BSR X5H mono/stereo compatible cartridge, a new lp45 / 78 stylus is fitted, The turntable has been lubricated & works as it should on ALL speeds, the autochanger works just as it should & is not sluggish during the changing of records! there is no crackle from the volume or tone controls that are fully responsive!

This is a great chance to own a iconic original great condition vintage Dansette, the "Tempo" is a classic & represents the 1960s to perfection! its sure a Dansette not to miss!  it would make a fantastic talking point in any home! It should also prove to be a sound investment..

Please not Tempos are NOT suitable for the fitting of legs.
