Hello from Portland, OR

[TheShanMan]

It doesn't have the badge nor do I see any indication that there ever was one (screw holes or what have you). That is pretty cool though.

Mine also doesn't have that cylindrical thing in the corner, but it does have the holder. What is the cylindrical thing?

It doesn't have the safety glass. That explains why the plastic bezel isn't attached in any way - lol. I can see 2 screw holes at the top that are obviously related to holding the safety glass in but I can't tell from your picture what the retainer looks like. Would you mind taking a picture of it for me?

Thanks for the help and info!

Its just a strip of metal across the top that holds the glass in it wold be easy to make. I have seen plastic trim in the exact shape at the hardware store that could be painted gold and would probably work fine. I will look around here and see if I have one off another set I used for parts. The cylinder thing is the 45rpm record adapter. I see yours has a round badge or something on the speaker grill across from where it says Deluxe thats not on mine what is that?

So perhaps just some angle aluminum painted? Of course if you find the real thing, that would be better.

I never remember seeing those 45 adapters growing up (I was born in '70). I only remember the flat plastic ones. Don't suppose you have a spare adapter in the parts from your parts set?

I bet the angle aluminum painted would work fine. I will still look more around here to see if I find something. Thanks for sending the picture of the badge.
I don't have a extra 45rpm adapter but Ebay would be a good place to watch for one. I was born Nov. 68 so the Packard Bell record player was before my time to but I remember the plastic ones.

From what I can surmise, that adapter is a "VM 1101". Do you see any sort of model # on your adapter? Looks like this one: http://www.thevoiceofmusic.com/catal...29&Categories=

I don't really want to spend $29 for a refurbished one at this point, but I found this one on ebay which appears to be the same one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/METAL-Vintag...item2a44217512

It's an auction so who knows what it'll actually go for, but I'd pay the opening price if that's the right one. Does that one also look right to you? The action has great pics so I think the comparison should be easy.

It looks identical to mine Ill bet it will work. I have a friend in Hillsboro
that has a bunch of old record changers I will call him and see if he has one or knows if all the adapters are the same that looks like mine.

Thanks!

Sorry. Almost forgot about your question of the "badge". It doesn't have any words on it but here's a pic...
