Gimme Five! Portable record players

selection of portable record players

We’ve been sorting through a lot of our vinyl records that haven’t seen the light of day in years. We’re thinking of eBaying off these ones and investing in others that are more likely to be played.

Some of the best vintage vinyl finds we’ve had over the years have been found at car boot sales. Having a portable record player with you when you’re out record hunting ensures you don’t get home to find you’ve bought a duff! They’re also perfect for domestic use if you want to listen to your vinyl in different rooms – perhaps a bit of Kenny G in the bath 😉 With the resurgence in popularity of vinyl, there are lots of portable record players on the market. We love the retro looks that some of them have – but the favourite has got to be the Charlie Brown one, we’re big Peanuts fans!
