It's Great that you are just as crazy about this wonderful machine as I was, and still am:)) But I couldn't have all those record players around the house like you have:))) who does your cleaning??:)) 5 Sun April 26 2009 - 21:18:25 Fullname: Alan Dallinger Email: Where are you from?: Homepage Name: Homepage URL: Comments: Nice site I thought the Dansette serenade was a valve set, not transister 6 Thu April 02 2009 - 12:18:02 Fullname: eric payne Email: celiaanderic@tiscali.co.uk Where are you from?: Lincolnshire Homepage Name: Homepage URL: Comments: Once more a pleasurable few minutes looking through your collection of record players - is there any other site which has received over 250 million visits?! Incredible! Once owned a Dansette Junior, bought new in 1957 for £12. GOD, I wish I had it now. First record played on it was Haley's 'Rock Around The Clock'. I am now regretting not spending £48 (best price)on a Dansette player on sale just a couple of days ago at Swinderby antiques fair - if it's still there at the next fair I will snap it up. This machine sounded great.

I would love to come down and look through your collection sometime.

Nice to see so many old fave's. I have a Philips Disc Jockey Major that I picked up on E-Bay. The old singles sound just right on it. I suppose it's because that's the sound we remember from our youth and it takes us back. Apache on a green Columbia lable, heaven. Keep up the good work! 9 Thu January 01 2009 - 20:15:37 Fullname: Brian Noye Email: briandnoye@aol.com Where are you from?: Retford Nottinghamshire Homepage Name: Homepage URL: Comments: Hi julie, my mum has just died and was clearing out the house when I came across a dansette record player with a pink body and a white lid, also a tin full of 45 singles,any idea how much they are worth ? regards Brian 10 Sun December 14 2008 - 20:36:15 Fullname: Mark Lovell Email: marklovell1965@hotmail.com Where are you from?: London Homepage Name: Homepage URL: Comments: Seeing your collection of record players reminded me that when I was a small boy, my mother gave me a mono record player. It was a Dansette Bermuda and it sounded wonderful. As an adult i've spent thousands on hifi trying to recreate that same sound. There's no doubt those old record players we all took for granted were very special indeed. Thanks. Back to My Dansette Record Players
