Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. A World War II record player used by the Army with a record manufactured by the Special Services Division, as indicated by the label on the top and under the lid, which was responsible for, among other things, entertainment and recreational activities for the troops in the United States and the theaters of combat operations. This example does not appear to have all pieces, and is being sold for display or restoration.
The phonograph is in fair condition, contained within an OD Green case which is missing the carrying handle. The crank handle is also missing. 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 Waters Conley Company in Rochester, Minnesota.
The unit is spring powered, which is wound using the crank present in the case. We are unsure if it works properly as the crank handle is not present. The needlehead is also completely absent. The unit has multiple extra needles in a compartment on the turn table. Approximately 15½ by 17 by 8 inches in size.
The bottom of the case shows heavy warping of the material with breaks and cracks across.
A good example for restoration. Ready for further research and display.
