Portable record player, made in Switzerland by Paillard S. Red crackle enamel finish is much less common than the standard black/brown coverings, making this a desirable collector’s piece. An original red crackle enamel finish is a rarer color variant. The enamel shows typical age-related crackling and surface wear, but retains strong visual appeal. Hinges, clasps, and case structure remain intact. Complete with original winding crank and turntable. Spring motor winds and run great. One full crank will play the whole song with no problem. The leather handle shows some cracks, and there is a small dent on the case cover. Please see the video. Please see photos for more conditions. Have a nice day.

Here is the rare and beautiful Emerson Wondergram portable phonograph, circa 1959, then advertised as the “World’s Smallest Record Player”. Manufactured by the Baird Company in England, the unit has a gold-colored anodized aluminum lid and platter. The Wondergram was marketed as a “pocket-size” phonograph, measuring only 8″ x 4″ x 2, and features three swing-open and spring-loaded feet on the bottom to elevate the player and enable unobstructed sound from the bottom-mounted speaker. The unit was designed to run on 4 “C”-size batteries, with the motor play switch operated by lifting the tonearm. The motor operates two rubber wheels on the platter one for 45 rpm and one for 33-1/3 rpm records. His example is about as close to mint as they come, with barely a mark to be found anywhere. The three flip-open legs are intact, but the metal on the legs does show some tarnish. The battery compartment is clean. The latch to hold down the lid, which is a weak point on these sets, works beautifully. I installed batteries, but could not get the drive wheels to turn, so the set will need to be reconditioned. There are several websites with helpful restoration tutorials. The original stylus and 45-rpm adapter (mounted on the underside of the lid) are both present. The item “RARE 1959 EMERSON WONDERGRAM POCKET PHONOGRAPH RECORD PLAYER NM with CASE & PAPERS” is in sale since Thursday, February 11, 2021. This item is in the category “Consumer Electronics\Vintage Electronics\Vintage Audio & Video\Vintage Record Players”. The seller is “wtsa50″ and is located in Santa Fe, New Mexico. This item can be shipped worldwide.
