    A little about me:
    It is my passion to bring you the very finest restoration I can.  My quest to explore, diagnose, repair and service electronic and mechanical devices
    began when I was 7 years old.  I'd get up very early, everyday in the Summer and on Saturday mornings during the school year.  I'd take my Huffy bicycle
    around TV service and electronic repair store rubbish areas.  I'd hit the trash cans of neighbors, industrial and retail centers, collecting interesting
    specimens of electronic chassis and motor driven gizmos, to dissect, study and organize.  In my teens I built and studied projects from Heathkit and
    other schematics featured in Mechanics Illustrated, Electronics Illustrated and similar related publications.  In the Navy I went to school, studied and
    worked as an Aviation Electrician repairing and servicing military aircraft.  Now that I'm retired, I still love to tinker with electronic and mechanical
    devices.  If the item is old and moves, engages, lights up, or makes sound, I am driven to dismantle, clean, readjust and rebuild the device.  I have
    several radios, record players, amplifiers, and color wheels that I will be restoring over the next several years.  My goal is to make these old, vintage
    devices function like new again.  They sure don't make-em like they used to.  Cheers:  Daniel
    SHIPPING:  This record player will be carefully double boxed and packaged to endure every drop, kick and throw the shipping service can inflict on this item.  I have packaged and shipped hundreds of delicate, vintage electronic and mechanical devices with success over the years.  This is a very special record player that will be packaged with care and consideration to make sure it arrives as described to its new owner
