Item Description

Original Item: Only One Available. This is a World War II record player used by the Army with two binders of 19 total records, most all manufactured by the Special Services Division, as indicated by the labels on the records, which was responsible for, among other things, entertainment and recreational activities for the troops in the United States and the theaters of combat operations. We were actually able to get this player to play a record, and it still sounds great! What’s more interesting is that four of the records have PASSED BY NAVAL CENSOR stamps.

The phonograph player is in great service-used condition, contained within an OD green case with an intact leather carrying handle, although we would warn against using it. The felt on the platter is still in good condition as well. There is a paper label on the inside of the lid that details the winding, use, cleaning, and oiling of the phonograph, and indicates that the phonograph was manufactured by the Plaza Manufacturing Co. of New York.

The unit is spring powered, which is wound using the crank present in the case. When the unit is cranked and the switch activated, the turn table rotates smoothly, though it most likely could use some oiling. The unit has multiple extra needles in a compartment on the turn table. Approximately 17 by 16 by 7 1/2 inches in size. As mentioned, we did test it with a record, and it played fine although a bit grainy, and the records would repeat a bit, but this is more due to the condition of the records.

An outstanding specimen to find still functional! Ready for further research and display.
