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!!
