The Track is called "The Happening" by "The Torero Band" off an album called "Tijuana: Sound of Brass" They were a British band led by Alan Moorhouse, and very much influenced by Herb Alpert's band. I didn't know this myself until I watched this video and spent the next few hours soaking up everything on the internet to do with them. I adored rediscovering this Album, There's six tracks that I remember so well from being a kid in the 1970's, and I would hear them all over the TV on programs and adverts. I found my favourite six on KZitem, here they are; A1 Walk in the Black Forest kzitem.info/news/bejne/kaKenXyZgqOhnHY A4 Spanish Flea kzitem.info/news/bejne/uaxv3ZilsXWBrJw A5 A Taste of Honey kzitem.info/news/bejne/qIBj3p6lhJaFbKg A6 Tijuana Taxi kzitem.info/news/bejne/xoRjyZ-hj4x_Z6A B3 The Happening kzitem.info/news/bejne/1mZ3tYBns4SbaJw B4 The Third Man Theme kzitem.info/news/bejne/2n2L0ImQpIF8lXo

Back in the late 1980s I found a portable record player with an AM radio in a pawn shop, I think I paid 7 bucks for it. It was square and made of white plastic and had a black metal lid with a large thumbscrew in the center that held the lid down for transport. I think it used 2 C or D batteries and played records using the drive roller method and to change speeds you moved the roller back and forth (it only had one). I never could get records to play correctly on it, mainly due to the tiny plastic turntable it had not being level which caused the records to wobble so much they scraped on the unit. But the AM radio...was AMAZING! I took it apart to see if I could fix it and discovered that the ferrite bar antenna was in the handle and was around 5 inches long, which explained the performance. I can't remember what became of it and haven't been able to locate another one since, but I did see a picture of a rectangular version that may have been from the same manufacturer that lacked the AM radio, so it would have been a lot like yours but newer (I'm guessing it was made around 1970 or so).

Seems like there has been a long term obsession with the idea of miniaturizing the turntable... The interesting thing to consider is the change in what the these turntables emphasized over time. Back in the 50's/60's with Wondergram and car turntables it was about making the phonograph into a social experience: something every one could listen to. But in the 80's it turned into an emphasis on the personal side, most likely due to the introduction of the Walkman.

Thumb this post up if you think Techmoan should bring out a 1950's music record :D

Cool new intro😎 still amazes me the sound quality we used to accept on old music tech. My first turntable sounded awful but I didn't know better

Cool bit of vintage tech. I love all the detail you get into on how these devices work, or don't, as the case may be.

It's a video of a portable turntable and there's no reference to Sony Flamingo?! I'm disappointed

Yeah, I kept expecting for a reference to the Flamingo or the Sound Burger

Maybe he didn't mention them because this phonograph predates both of them.

I bought one of those in Buenos Aires Argentina back in 2010. It came with a high quality leather bag. Thanks techmoan. I had the same problem, now it's time to fix it!

Works quite well for what it is. It's definitely a handsome unit.

Funny how you guys used to bitch about iPhone having a screen that is too small, people wanted the option, now they have it. Also android phones are just as huge if not larger

The Torero Band ! Oh my goodness, I know these tunes so well from my childhood but never knew who made them, I used to hear them everywhere on the TV during the 70's. I've now ordered the LP from Amazon, Thanks so much for bringing them back into my life Matt.

Its sleek form and small size makes it seem like it’s from a much later era. Beautiful!

Thanks so much for showing that contact cleaner in the video! I ordered some and now have a fully functional 70's stereo phonograph cabinet again. I've been looking for that stuff for ages.
