I am trying to find the worth of my vintage record player?
October 21st, 2009 by adminIt says that it is a Motorola Hi Fidelity Stereophonic System. It looks like a tweed suitcase, but it weighs at least 20 lbs. It has two speakers that fold out from it, and it plays all sizes of records. I have seen similar models on the internet, but none where the speakers actually fold out from the casing itself. My husband thinks it is from the 50’s or 60’s.
You may want to take it to a professional appraisor, but I have seen a few of these in shops, and ones in good working order are usually priced from $50-$75, more if they are in an interesting bright color like turquoise or pink… Motorola is a popular brand for radio and stereo equipment. Try watching eBay and see if there are any on there similar to yours.

You could try putting it on eBay with a (ridiculously) high reserve price.
That should give you a good idea.
