Description
WIFI vintage Record-Player!
It contains a 120 W class D stereo amplifier combined with two 60 W speakers (the original speaker had a power of 1W!). On the rear panel, knobs allow to adjust the bass/medium/treble to correct the quality losses of aged vinyl.
This device can be used as a "simple" record player with a very good sound quality.
Flip the back switch and turn it into a WIFI and Bluetooth connected speaker. You'll be able to use your phone or tablet to stream your playlists or your favorite music platform.

Moreover, in this mode, the signal of the turntable is digitized and transmitted to the WIFI module. Our system allows you to broadcast your vinyl records to other WIFI speakers in a synchronous way!

Vinyl Turntable
The turntable is a completely rebuild Philips AG 2140, as is the motor. The needle, cartridge and drive wheel are new. It can play 33, 45 and 78 rpm and accepts all sizes up to the 12 1/4 inch 78 rpm, the largest ever made. The turntables of this era were designed to play mono and stereo records, so the swivel cartridge contains two sapphire needles and allows the playback of modern records.
History of the radio
Other than an address there is very little records available for this company?
I’ve seen several models of record players they produced and they were all beautiful! They started just after WWII in 1948 and disappeared in 1955.

32 Rue du Plateau, Paris 19e (1950)
Philips was founded in 1891 by Frederik Philips and his son Gerard. The father, a banker, financed the acquisition of a factory in Eindhoven, where the company began to manufacture electrical components. After a difficult first few years, during which they almost went bankrupt, Gerard's younger brother Anton joined the company. As an engineer, he quickly brought fresh ideas to the table and the business grew rapidly. In the following years, the family laid the foundations for the multinational electronics company. In the 1930s they marketed the very popular "Chapelle" radio, and in 1939 the first electric razor.
After World War II, Philips produced vinyl turntables that we love for their robustness. The company contributed a lot to the Art Deco movement, seeking to move away from the natural lines of Art Nouveau into more abstract modern forms. After 1960 came the tape players, then other technologies.
