RESTORED VINTAGE 1956 RCA MODEL 7-HF-45 ORTHOPHONIC HIGH FIDELITY 45 RPM RECORD PLAYER

RESTORED VINTAGE 1956 RCA MODEL 7-HF-45 ORTHOPHONIC HIGH FIDELITY 45 RPM RECORD PLAYER
IN 1956 RCA INTRODUCED THE NEW 7HF ORTHOPHONIC HIGH FIDELITY 45 RPM RECORD PLAYERS. THE NEW HIGH FIDELITY WAS ACCOMPLISHED BY USING A FOUR TUBE AMPLIFIER WITH TWO AUDIO STAGES AND PUSH PULL OUTPUT, A CERAMIC PICKUP CARTRIDGE, AND SEPARATE WOOFER AND TWEETER SPEAKERS.
THE BEST FREQUENCY RESPONSE IS HEARD WHEN THE LID IS CLOSED DUE TO THE WOOD CABINET. THE AMPLIFIER ALSO FEATURED A TONE CONTROL. THE CABINET WAS AVAILABLE IN THREE DIFFERENT WOODS: MAHOGANY, MAPLE AND OAK. THIS RECORD PLAYER IS MAHOGANY WHICH WAS ALSO THE MOST POPULAR WOOD COLOR. THERE IS ALSO A RECORD STORAGE AREA LOCATED ON THE LEFT SIDE WHICH CAN HOLD ABOUT TWENTY RECORDS.
THIS 7-HF-45 HAS A DATE CODE RVG 274-631 WHICH INDICATES THAT IT HAS THE VERY POPULAR RP190 AUTOMATIC CHANGER AND WAS MANUFACTURED IN JULY 1956. IT HAS A SERIAL NUMBER OF 019499
THE 7HF45 IS ONE OF MY PERSONAL FAVORITE PLAYERS BASED ON THE GREAT LOOK OF THE CABINET AND THE QUALITY OF THE SOUND PRODUCED BY THE AMP, DUAL SPEAKERS AND WOOD CABINET.
THE RESTORATION INCLUDED A COMPLETE DISASSEMBLY OF ALL SECTIONS OF THE RECORD PLAYER INCUDING A THOUROUGH CLEANING AND REPLACEMENT OF THE WORN PARTS.
RECORDS ARE NOT INCLUDED WITH THE RECORD PLAYER.
THE OVERALL MEASUREMENTS ARE 14 ½ X 13 ½ X 9
ALL DETAILS AND PHOTOS OF THE RESTORATION WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE EBAY AUCTION LISTING FROM 9/8 TO 9/15/24
