The Old Academy Windup (Bluetooth)

Working Vintage "Academy" windup gramophone (about 90 years old) upgraded to include new genuine Douk Audio bluetooth hifi system, rated at about 20 watts per channel.

The unit functions fully as it did 90 years ago. There is a patterned front exposed by a sliding panel that controls the volume. It plays 78 rpm records and has be used to play anything from 1930's blues by Bessie Smith, crooning by Nat King Cole and early rock of "Blue Suede Shoes" by Elvis Presley.

The new hifi system will play everything else from your phone, tablet or laptop, using apps such as Spotify and Amazon Music.

The unit is 47cm wide X 50 cm deep by 87cm high.

It would be difficult to find a similar vintage product that blends the old with the new.

The artwork has a 3M mains lead for the bluetooth/hifi system
