The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Has anyone ever seen one of these?

A friend of mine is part of an antique co-op, and not too long ago I spotted this in one of his display cases. I was in a rush at that point so couldn’t inspect it more closely. But it appeared to be plastic, and it’s supposed to be fully functioning... all the packaging was present too, and identified this as being a souvenir from a 1956 RCA meeting in Miami Beach.

More info? Looks pretty neat.

One of these was on eBay not too long ago. I bid but did not win.

I didn’t notice that but thanks. Do you recall what it sold for?

I don't remember exactly, but I think it was between $50 and $100. I bid for the novelty and it wasn't worth that much to me.

Found the eBay link:

Looks like this was the regular retail version, not the RCA giveaway.
