RARE 1946 ADMIRAL Working 78RPM RECORD PLAYER BAKELITE CASE 6RP48-3A1N PHONOGRAPH
1946 Admiral 10/12" 78RPM Record Player Bakelite Case 6RP48-3A1N-MA Phonograph RC160 This is a 1946 Admiral multi-platter 10/12" 78rpm, Phonograph Model # 6RP48-3A1N-MA ,with a beautiful complete Bakelite Mahogany case. It's especially rare because all bakelite components, not just the top and bottom case, but the speaker grill, the 10/12 platter drop mechanism, and the knobs are present and in good condition. The platter even still has the original fabric finish. This piece was produced in 1946 and I believe the mechanisms are the same as the RC160 and RC200 record changers. It powers up, turntable spins, I don't know if it can perform record drop. The motor runs and the turntable spins. A 78 record can play on it just fine but it seems to have a very loud hum to it (maybe the speaker is going or needs to be replaced??) Therefore selling this AS-IS to someone for restoration/ It measures 16 inches wide by 9 1/2 inches tall by 15 inches deep, and weighs 18 pounds.
