What did I buy at RetrotechUK in 2024? Is it just junk and what did I pay for it all? #retrotech #gramophone #phonograph #record #pathe #vintageaudio #78rpm
The only pathè record I have is just vinyl records with Malay and Chinese songs but damn that’s a lot and very rare stuff you got! quite interested about the tiny player, is it possible to fix it? And I saw the broadcast record and it is 6 inches!?!? That’s very unusual and rare! I saw the brown colour record and I if I remember correctly, it is a microgrove record so you can play it on a record player!
It was great to find the Pathe. There were several in the box, but that one seemed like a good record at a good price. In the video intro you can also see a huge Pathe disk which was there. I was tempted to buy it! (I didn't ask the price though). There was a lot of rare stuff there, I agree. I think I can fix the little grey record player. I will have to find a different motor for it, but I already have an idea 💡 🤔 😅. The little broadcast record must be pretty rare. I believe they only made them in 1927! The orange/brown record isn't shellac so can be played on a record player, though I don't think it was properly microgroove as it would work with a 78 stylus also. Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks 👍 😀
Yes, the little grey briefcase one will probably get an electric motor. I already have one in mind. Do you think it is a Kiddyphone brand one? I haven't been able to find a picture of another one online. The other one may get fixed, too, but I already have a complete working example of that model. The Broadcast Junior was an unexpected surprise. I wasn't paying any attention to the records in the box when I bought it! 😅. Apparently, it was a short-lived label from 1927. Thanks 👍 😀
Interesting video. How do you stop yourself from not buying hundreds of records there? I would struggle. 😂 I would like to attend that event sometime though. May be next year. Also just noticed a phonograph for wax cylinders. Wouldnt mind one of those some day.
Yes, it was a great find, though there were other Pathe discs I could have bought too. Did you notice the huge Pathe disc, near the start of the video? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IB39hqBlMjE.html Thanks 👍 😀
