I'm hooked on this vacuum tube record player. I also use it to listen to "radiko on my smartphone."

Released around 1955 (Showa 30)
High-end vacuum tube tabletop record player (player) made of metal
33, 45, 78 RPM 60Hz PE-5000
While modern digital technology provides very accurate rotation speeds, older players, whether belt-driven or direct-drive, are analog and not perfectly precise.

I've become obsessed with vacuum tube record players since the month before last.

You can listen to records, as well as radio audio from your smartphone, on this vacuum tube record player.
Comes with Bluetooth connection to the main unit, connecting cord, and conversion transformer (with connection instructions).

Please take the time to enjoy the charm of analog by listening to records at a leisurely pace.
It might be nice to teach those who have never experienced a vacuum tube player that there were portable vacuum tube players.
A thoughtful gift would be to include an AC extension cord. (LOL)

Disassembled, cleaned, motor and spindle lubricated, wiring cord and capacitors replaced.
Please note that there is one small, inconspicuous dent on the metal body.
Please occasionally enjoy the rich, beautiful sound of the vacuum tubes.
Regular cleaning is important to protect the sound quality and lifespan of records. Washing with distilled water or water with a neutral detergent is fundamental.

This is a precious work of art that can no longer be produced, and is for those who deeply love the nostalgia and simplicity of that era. For those who are inexplicably captivated by the charm of vacuum tubes. The charm lies in nostalgia and simplicity.
This rare item's retro price is rapidly increasing. A legacy for future generations.

Most retro players claim power turns on, but the needle cartridge inside is rusted and has no conductivity. Power on and the cartridge needle are separate issues.
Ultimately, there are issues like coil disconnection in M.C. (Moving Coil) types. This is a problem even before needle replacement.
(This is caused by the blue-green rust that forms on the surface as copper and brass oxidize. Power turns on but nothing plays.)
