Can anyone tell me,is there such a device as a vinyl turntable with in built speakers?I vaguely remember seeing something like this in a Sunday supplement but can find no trace through web search.I did find a laser vinyl turntable but thats a bit out of my league!!! If I remember correctly the item I saw in the magazine was about £60.It doesn't have to be (and probably wouldn't be) hi tech!!!

Yes, they are called record players. Everyone had one until about 1990.

A turntable is a device which you can play records on which has no amplifier, it consists of just the mechanical bits and the stylus. If you buy a turntable you need to have a hifi amplifier or DJ mixer that has PHONO inputs. You cannot plug a turntable into [tape in] [video] or [aux] inputs because the sound will be tinny because a magnetic cartridge needs it's special non linear amplifier.

marshall ward cataloge does them, for about £49.99

Radiograms until about 1960:hihi:

You could probably still get one if you have any Green Shield stamps lying around:P

Actually a radio gram is something different.

In today's parlence it would be described as a reciever with turntable and loudspeakers incorporated into a bizzarre teak sideboard for some unkown reason.

whereas, a turntable with speakers doesn't incorporate a radio reciever.

Radiograms were made well into the 1970s. The word radiogram is a contraction of Gramaphone and radio

I have a HMV wind up gramophone from about 1930.
That has a biult in speaker - of sorts. :cool:
