Highlights

  • Handpicked by reAwesome
  • Vintage from the 1970s
  • Materials: Cardboard, metal, plastic

This vintage 1970s Emerson Radio Corp. “Big-Big” portable phonograph is a classic suitcase-style record player, often associated with late 1970s design and commonly cited as a 1977 model. With its bright blue exterior, white platter, and compact, lightweight construction, it was originally marketed as a fun and accessible turntable for children or casual listening. The unit plays both 33 and 45 RPM records and plugs in.

Constructed with a thick cardboard body and plastic components, including the handle and trim, this unit is being sold as non-working / for display or repair. It has been tested and does spin records at both speeds; however, the volume output is extremely low, making it not functional for normal use. Vintage record players of this type often require maintenance such as belt replacement, internal cleaning, or speaker repair to restore full functionality.

This piece would make an eye-catching display item, a prop for photography or staging, or a great project for someone interested in restoring vintage electronics. Its bold color and iconic suitcase design make it a standout addition to any retro collection.

This is a vintage electrical item and while we see no flaws in the wiring we cannot be responsible for any damage or accidents caused by it. If we ever notice any wire cracks, major flaws, sparks, etc. we would always disclose that. We noticed none of that with this piece.

12 3/4 inches wide, 10 inches deep without knobs, and 5 1/2 inches tall. For size reference, the photos include a pack of 3 x 5-inch index cards. This weighs 5 pounds 1 ounce.

This vintage item may show signs of wear such as scuffs, marks, stains, and scratches. These imperfections are part of its charm and character. This item is being sold as a decorative piece and is intended to be distressed and weathered. If there are props in the photos, like a metal hand, stand, easel, or book, please note that they are not included with your purchase. To ensure you're completely happy with your purchase, please take a close look at all the photos and read the description thoroughly. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out! We’re here to help and love answering questions to make sure you get exactly what you’re looking for.
