Have you seen this - It's back to the 1950s again - I think
« on: September 23, 2012, 11:47:46 pm »
Is anyone familiar with this Baylor radio phonograph. Works by electric and/or battery. No company markings or labels besides the words as shown -
Baylor
Portable Radio Phonograph

In my research I found Baylor in Japan and their 1950s/60s product line was transistor radios. Nothing about any combination items.

Thanks!

Looks like mine from late 50`s early 60`s !! Mine was turquois blue !!  Called portable because it had a handle to carry it  !!

Had a couple as well.  Still have one to play all the old records (Herb Alpert & Tijuana Brass, Mitch Miller, Ink Spots, Beatles, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Black Sabbath, Andy Williams, Monkeys, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Cat Stevens, The Who, etc.)  Now I need to go get it out and play them.  Just love that scratchy sound!  LOL

Is there a way I could go about putting a value on this if  I want to sell it?

I would check with the sites exclusive to radio/phonographs !! There are many collector sites for items like this !! I found nothing on that brand from that time period !! Did find a couple of newer ones !!
