Do you think it will skip? Maybe mount it with some skyhooks.

Those old record players are super cool! Knew a guy back in the late '60's that had one about like that hanging under the dash of his '56 Chevy, and it was rare then! As I recall it did OK cruising down the highway, but any harsh bumps did cause skips - his played standard 45's, not the special MOPAR discs. I think he used it more when he was parked, late at night in dark, secluded places Oh, to be young again

I had one of those in my '61 Impala back in 1965. It played good while you were parked but would sometimes skip when you hit a bump. They cost like $25 dollars back then.

Have had 1 sittin in the OG box for years.
Just looked @ it yesterday, still had the price tag on it.
$59.95
Saw 1 sell on EBay a couple years ago for $650.00
Mayne time to unload it.
Ya Think?

35fordcoupe,

May I ask what these players go for these days? I have one such player and would like to sell it but don't really know how much to ask. Any help would be appreciated!

I'm no expert, but just looking around they seem to be asking $500 to $750 for working, restored units. RCA's seem to be more desirable than ARC's, but I can't say why??

Threw mine on EBay 2 weeks ago, started the bidding @ $450
Bingo --- it brought better than a thou.
