I don't know if any of you all remember seeing one of these before, but I had one as a kid, and stupidly sold it at a yard sale. It came out in the late 70's or so
Anyways, here's the description. This was a portable record player I had that was particularly heavy, but a lot of fun. It was the size of a large suitcase and colored gray. The record player would run off of 8 D cell batteries, or you could plug it in. When you wanted to play it, you set it down vertically on a flat surface, and folded down the middle section horizontally that contained the turntable....sort of like Jason's Magnavox... Two vertical 4 inch wide X 10 inch tall column speakers stayed upright with the rear of the case. Along the top edge of the upright portion, it had Volume, Bass, Treble, and Balance.
I remember it having a black 4-speed BSR changer in it, and Emerson electronics for the audio section. There was a sticker on the front that said "BSR Precision turntable / Audio by Emerson".It was quite a nice turntable for a young kid to have. I think someone gave it to Dad and he let my sister and I use it. As a teenager, I remember carrying it up the street and cranking it up in front of a friend's house with a huge stack of records on it while we hung out in his yard. It would play particularly loud, and I'm quite suprised the neighbors didn't complain!
