Here's something you don't see every day. This Capehart was introduced in 1956 and was a fairly expensive player back then. Capehart was a higher end manufacturer that really didn't make "junk". This player is TRUE HI-FIDELITY & has a fairly robust transformer chassis amplifier with a pair of 12AX7's & a pair of 6V6GT's with a 5Y3GT rectifier. At 60 years old, this still has all of its original Capehart tubes...and they all show strong! All of this is fed through a pair of 12" speakers & a pair of 5 1/2" speakers using a 3-speed Capehart marked VM changer. Note the magnificent amount of tone control on the face! BTW, this is known as a "Colortone" because the sliding tone controls change color when adjusted. This player has been restored and is ready to enjoy. With the player comes the 45 adapter, the ORIGINAL instruction book, the changer instructions, a new spare 45 needle AND the PHOTOFACT FOLDER. I did not bother to adjust the speaker cloth which is sagging in spots but it's all there and I'm leaving it for the next owner to play with! This player IS for sale so if you have an interest just contact me. This is an ideal QUALITY player with a smaller than average footprint to fit in those tighter spaces. This COULD be just what you're looking for!
