Record Player Choice of the Stars

[G3VFB_Anton]

Reminiscences from first post pictures -

1. I got sacked for repairing one of these privately, instead of selling a rubbish player for the company I worked for

2. As a recording engineer worked with 'Tel' & Leo before he was famous. Used to get asked (mistakenly) for Adam Faith's autograph when much younger

3. My Auntie Ba was a great friend of Dusty - also worked with her in the studio

Anton get off your box

There's another pic about with him and a radiogram with a Garrard 2025 deck or similar, but I can't find it at the moment.

Thats a cheapo Bush music centre from the late 70's. A friend of mine had one, it was absolute rubbish.

Perhaps they just wanted to repeat that single/LP side?
