I believe this model was a last gasp ultra budget model (portable colour sets had started to be cheap by the mid 80s and Ferguson/Thorn wasn't doing very well) sourced from Samsung and not by Thorn EMI. At the time Samsung was seen as a cheap OEM.
Hi All! Great to see so many viewers of our record player. Just to let everyone know this machine has been sold, and this video was to show the new owner how to set it up! We’re hoping to add some more videos in the near future or record players and radios, so keep an eye out on the channel!
