WW2 US MILITARY PORTABLE PHONOGRAPH/RECORD PLAYER

WHAT ANOTHER GREAT FIND! A WW2 US PORTABLE HANDCRANKED FIELD PHONOGRAPH/RECORD PLAYER. CORDLESS IN OUR WORLD OF TODAY. THIS IS A FANTASTIC WINDUP INSTRUMENT. MEN AND WOMEN IN THE FIELD COULD NOT WAIT TO HEAR FROM LOVED ONES AT HOME. MESSAGES COULD BE RECORDED ON DISK AND PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN. ALSO MUSIC OF YESTERYEAR COULD BE HEARD. WHAT A GREAT MORALE BOOSTER FOR OUR FIGHTING TROOPS. MISSING IS THE MAKER'S LABEL AND PAPERS WITH INSTRUCTIONS. FROM THE RESEARCH - I BELIEVE VICTROLA MADE THESE WONDERFUL PLAYERS. CONDITION IS EXCELLENT. THERE SEEMS TO BE A SMALL CHIP OFF THE ARM. BESIDES THIS - EVERYTHING WORKS MECHANICALLY AND LOOKS REMARKABLY GOOD. TURNTABLE HAS THE FELT FOR THE RECORD TO LAY ON. EVEN EXTRA NEEDLES AND SPRING ARE STORED WHICH IS RARE TO HAVE. MOST WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST OVER TIME. THE LEATHER HANDLE IS IN FANTASTIC CONDITION. ALL ORIGINAL OD GREEN COLOR FOR THE TIME PERIOD. I HAVE NOT SEEN ONE OFFERED IN THIS CONDITION. THERE IS A HIGH RESERVE ON THIS INSTRUMENT. A RARE PIECE OF HISTORY!

UPDATE: HELLO RICK
I WOUND IT UP AND IT KEEPS THE SPEED FROM FAST TO SLOW. THE NEEDLE AND ARM WORKS AND CAN HEAR MUSIC FROM THE RECORD. RECORD I HAVE IS LIL WARPED SO I BELIEVE WITH STRAIGHT RECORD(THIS IS A 33) SHOULD WORK BETTER WITH CLEANING AND PROBABLY A 78. THE BRAKE WORKS. SOUND WORKS BUT MUFFLED- STILL MAKE OUT THE MUSIC. EVERYTHING WORKS LIKE IT SHOULD AFTER YEARS IN STORAGE. HOPEFULLY SHIPMENT WILL NOT HURT IT - BUT CANNOT GUARANTEE IT. THANK YOU FOR ASKING - CHRIS
