This 1957 Decca DP910 45 record player with a single tube (25L6GT)
amplifier, has been completely disassembled and cleaned to remove old
dirt
and grease from the changers mechanical components. The motor deck has
been
repainted in satin nickle, the platter/spindle and tonearm have been
polished.
The unit plays very well, cycles very clean through a 12 record stack with good sound from the original speaker.
Once the RP190 changer had been completely cleaned to remove old dirt and grease, it was reassembled, lubricated and
adjusted.
The record player's 2 tone green case vinyl case is
in fair condition, it has been touched up with matching paint and it is
not pristine nor mint, has multiple scratches and scuffing, and has been well used, typical
for a unit that is 67 years old (see photos).
The tone
arm, spindle/platter and motor deck are all in very good condition as
well as the 2 green original knobs. (Please look over the photos and let
me know if you have any questions or would like additional photos.)
Please
note, this is not a high end phonograph and should be enjoyed for what
it is, an early 45 record player from the past that was marketed to the
teenagers of the 1950's!
