A nice flea-market find: Orange colored portable vintage turntable.
The brandname says "Domino" but there's not much info to be found searching the internet. So far found one hit on a different type of vintage portable recordplayer which is also Domino. That model is the Domino II tabletop stereo (model BR-3)and has a turntable, an 8-track player and AM/FM tuner.


This recordplayer is marked "003" and is obviously made for the German-speaking market as indicated by the word "Ton" on the controls.

The turntable has 4 controls: Volume - Ton - Volume - Ton. First one is the Master-volume with a red light as power-indicator. It comes with 3 speed settings: 33 rpm / 45 rpm and 78 rpm.

It is not battery-powered but has a normal 230V powercable.

And as you can see a nice late sixties/ early seventies orange color on the suitcase and the interior! Don't know if it's vintage but it sure looks like it. The suitcase has two old-fashioned locks with keys to prevent it from opening while you carry it.



If I find more info on this portable turntable, I will update this post. In the meantime enjoy the pictures and if you have any info on something similar please let me know.


And yes... it is playing great :-) Loud volume speakers too!!

Doing nothing can keep you rather busy.


To Do List: Nothing

Just came across this wallpainting while walking the streets of Berlin. If there is a city that is considered to never sleep and always has something to offer you anytime you want it then Berlin is certainly the place to be.

In a city that has so much to offer you also need time for reflection. Doing nothing is just what you need. Let your thoughts run free to crystalize your ideas and before you know it you'll have a clear concept of how your dreams can become reality!

Dreams are the reality of tomorrow if you have done nothing today. Possibilties are all around with the best usually right in front of you but if you look too hard you don't see it. Close your eyes, do nothing and get some fresh air in your head to start the brainstorm. One of these days you'll know when you can put the checkmark behind it and make something out of nothing, because nothing comes from nothing and it's all there for you if you grab it :-)
