    Description

    Offered is the Voice of Music, V-M TRI-O-MATIC, Model 556A Portable Phonograph. It is Tube Powered and it operates. Testing consisted of placing one LP on the spindle, staged to drop. It dropns and when the switch is moved to REJ and released, the disc drops and the tone arm goes to the first track and plays. The sound is great!  Upon playng through the LP side, or  REJ is selected the tone arm cycles but keeps going and swings to the second track. That is the only problem that I can find operationally.
    Cosmetically the cover is a collection of tears, scuffs and other damage on the exterior. The interior is pretty much spared except for some scuffs on the inside of the lid which looks as if there was an attempt to eradicate marker writing. Also, a 45 RPM spindle is missing from its mount. Except for those issues the wear is pretty light. The outer dimensions are 20 1/2" x 12" x 9. This Voice of Music Record Player is a great restoration opportunity. It comes with a radio tuner jack and also an 6-8 ohm speaker extension jack. The tubes all fire up and a visual of the speakers in situ reveals no issue that I can see nor can I hear any coil like distortion. Thee observations are made in good faith, but, by a layman with no electronic training nor aptitude. It is therefore an "As Is" proposition. Please check the photos and reach out with any questions.  Thanks.
