RCA VICTOR BAKELITE 45 RPM RECORD PLAYER MODEL 45 EY 3 NICE CASE For Sale -

THIS RCA 45 EY3 BELONGED TO MY SISTER SINCE IT WAS NEW...

BACK INTHE LATE 40\'S EARLY 50\'SRCA WAS TRANSITIONING FROMTHE 78 RPM RECORDS INTO THE NEW 45 RPM FORMAT... THEY QUICKLY REALIZED THAT THERE WERE NO RECORD PLAYERS OUT THERE (OR VERY FEW) THAT WOULD PLAY 45 RPM RECORDSSO, THEY DEVELOPEDSEVERAL MODELS OF THESE BAKELITE ICON BEAUTIES THAT PLAYED 45 RPM ONLY... THIS ONE (45 EY3) BEING THE MOST DESIREABLE...

IT WAS MY SISTERS DESIRE THAT THIS PLAYER FIND A NEW HOME WITH SOMEONE WHO WOULD ENJOY IT AS MUCH AS SHE HAD FOR SOMANY DECADES... IT WAS STORED FOR SOME TIME AND NEEDS SOME ATTENTION BUT NO DEAL BREAKERS HERE..

ANY RESTORER WILL TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN BUY NEW BELTS, CORDS, STYLUS\', AND TUBES BUT, YOU CANNOT BUY A NICE CRACK AND BREAK FREE CASE VERY EASILY THESE DAYS... THIS CASE IS A RUB OUT AND POLISH AWAY FROM GLAMOROUS.. HAS SOME SURFACE SCRATCHES FROM DECADES OFUSE BUT, THE HANDLE IS STRONG AS ARE THE HINDGES (HINGES ARE TIGHT)..

HERE ARE THE NEEDS... NEEDS A NEW BELT TO TURN THE TURNTABLE, POWERS UP BUT HUMS A BIT, NEEDS A NEW CORD RIGHT AWAY... DO NOT PLUG IN UNTIL IT IS REPLACED, IF YOU DO USE DUE CAUTION.. I HAVE PLUGGED IT IN CAREFULLY TO CHECK IT OUT.... THE STYLUS MAKES NOISE THROUGH THE SPEAKERWHEN I RUB MY FINGER ON IT BUT DOES NOT PLAY THE RECORD... JUST NEEDS LOOKING AT..I HAND TURNED THE TURNTABLE AND IT SEEMS TO GO THROUGH THE MOTIONS OF DROPPING THE RECORD AND MOVING THE TONE ARM INTO PLACE...I HAVE TIE WRAPPED THE TONE ARM DOWN UNTIL IT GETS TO YOUR HOME SO THATTHERE IS NO CHANCE FOR DAMAGE...

I HAVE PRICED IT ACCORDINGLY AS IS... BROUGHT UP TO A 9-10 THIS RCA 45 EY3 WILL BE WORTH IN THE $300.00 TO $400.00 RANGE, BROUGHT UP TO \"NICE\" IT WILL BRING YOU THAT GOOD OLE ROCK N ROLL AND BE WORTH AROUND $250.00 +...
