Something rattling in this old portable reproducer...

I think this portable was near the beach, on the beach, and at one time, under the beach.
This was all shaken out of the reproducer on this new-to-me VV 2-55.

If you take out the cover, it could also be full of dirt at the front of the diaphragm!

Believe it or not when I took off the cover it was pristine. I was shocked. It seemed like the horn and tone arm were just full of the detritus of long grasses of summer picnics-past. Still has a rattle, I need to remove the hardened rubber and grease/re-set the bearings.
