A perfect example of gramophone technology by the renowned Philips company from the late 1960s to early 1970s. This model is celebrated for its practical wooden casing, particularly when paired with two external stereo speakers (2 x 6 W), forming a compact and secure unit for easy portability.
The gramophone features a four-speed changer, enabling playback of records at any rotation speed: 16, 78, 45, and 33 RPM. Sound is captured using a GP200 crystal cartridge with a dual needle 946/DS51.
An intriguing detail about this model is its design tailored for European electrical standards—220 V and 50 Hz. When used in countries with different electrical systems, such as the USA (110 V, 60 Hz), issues could arise. Users reported that even after voltage adjustment to 110 V, the gramophone played records too quickly due to the frequency disparity.
Despite these challenges, this model remains highly praised and sought after by enthusiasts and collectors alike.
