another classic 60's piece of design,close to Braun razor

Philips portable record player







This kind of player was very popular here in Europe,it plays just 7" vinyl (45rpm )
So i got a question for you Americans:what is the right name for this?
I mean,doin' a search on the net (typing on Google image search=portable record player) i found on English sites just this kind of players,but these are turntables that can be opened, with an arm,a case with a handle..portable






I didn't found a compact one,like the model i did:totally closed,just insert your vinyl 7" and automatically start play.

Here another famous model shows what i mean.


I got suspect that these was producted just in Europe? Please gimme some information

Simple shapes (loft-bool diff-sweep for the belt)







a simple render




yesterday when i started to build the image waiting for some inspiration i listened on you tube 70's Funk music
so it gave me inspiration and final result turned out -Funk-
it's also a little tribute to JB and Sly Stone (they created that kind of music ! )

That stuff is too far from me Pilou..too high..!
Background image i downloaded from Internet,i think is a wallpaper or something like that..
his orange-yellow rays helps to emphatize the 24mm fish-eye shot of my camera, focused on center:JB vinyl


Mike
follow this forum is also a way to learn some American
it's not so obvious that all the world could speak and understand 100% English-American
your answer gave me impulse to study the meaning so i switched on -Urban Dictionary- site
Being my image inspired by -70's Funk- i guess you mean this (second part of definition)




..and what about my previous question? What is right name for compact 7" vinyl portable player ?

You are correct!

But, perhaps "Groovy" would be a more 'record player' apt urban-slang term from the 60's and 70's. ;-)


>What is right name for compact 7" vinyl portable player ?

Probably just a 'Portable Turntable'. But I wouldn't know, I had them when I was a kid, but by the time I was a teen we had "boom boxes" to play cassette tapes.

Your last one Phillips in France was named a "mange disques" (an eating discs (?) )

---

Many thanks Mike !!

Pilou...you know we are cousins....

France=mange disques
Italia= mangiadischi

grazie !

Nice modeling. Someone should try modeling a Toot-a-Loop radio. I still have my old one, but it no longer works.

I dont think there will be "slang" for it. When I was a kid we just called them "record players" so for me, it would just be a "portable record player". "Urban dictionary" is a relatively new concept in that "all things must have some stupid, American slang".

Although, that thing is pretty Righteous, man!

---

cool idea that Toot-a-Loop radio
could turned out a good tutorial Mike... ;-)

Thanks Burr:we use a particular name for it so i supposed you too got a different name instead of general-portable record player-
regarding use of Urban Dictionary,many times comes in help to understand the meaning of phrases used like slangs
you are right:often we link American with slang,so a kind of easygoing leaguage opposite to English,linked to Oxford an so..
if i listen to a rap song i can understand 10%,if i listen to Annie Lennox i can understand 70%
(that's why she is Scottish,they use to pronunce -R- in a strong way like us Latins,so i easier.That's my mother-leanguage english teacher told me..)
this is my level:beginner ,so everything is good to learn...

"""""""""""if i listen to a rap song i can understand 10%,if i listen to Annie Lennox i can understand 70%""""""""""""

A new concept phone ? :)

Spooky, Moritz....

We think it and you model it. :-o


I've taken one or two of those apart as a kid.... then again, taking radios apart was a strange youthful avocation.

This heavy-duty-audio-player is a gift from my father ...

AEG....BASF...this is the core of Germany !!
Basf producted first magnetic audio tape in 1935(from Wiki)
i see the belt similar to my Philips:same years...
strong vignetting+AO give an "aged" look to your image
also toot-a-loop is cool

Bravo Herr Moritz !
