Philips AG 2248 (in box)

Beskrivelse

The device in the image is a Philips AG 2248 turntable, a vintage record player from the mid-20th century, likely produced in the 1950s or 1960s. Philips, a Dutch electronics company, was known for manufacturing audio equipment during this period, and the AG 2248 is a classic example of their early turntables.

The AG 2248 typically features a simple, minimalist design with a manual tonearm and a single-speed or multi-speed platter (often 33, 45, or 78 RPM, common for that era). It was designed for playing vinyl records and would have been a popular choice for home audio systems at the time. The «Start» button and speed selector knob visible on the front are characteristic of turntables from this period, allowing users to control playback and adjust for different record types.

These turntables are now considered collectible items among vintage audio enthusiasts, though they may require maintenance or restoration to function properly today, as components like the stylus, belts, or motor might have degraded over time. If you’re looking to use or restore one, you might need to source replacement parts, which can sometimes be found through specialty audio retailers or online marketplaces for vintage electronics.
