This is typical of the customer feedback we are constantly receiving… "Thank you so much for such an amazing record player and for packing it so thoroughly. It’s a beautiful player and was exceptionally well received on Christmas Day. Best buying experience in 7 years. Great item. Amazing communication. Fast Delivery. A++" Go on... take a closer look at our eBay customer reviews. We honestly didn't write them ourselves! What you don’t get from Tutti Audio We refuse to purchase for refurbishment any Dansette that has been attacked by wood boring insects and is not in a clean and tidy original condition. For electrical safety reasons we refuse to sell any players that are not fitted with a mains isolation transformer, such as the Dansette Viva model for example. We never carry out full recovers or spray paint over the original Rexine. We strongly feel that not only does it look unnatural for a vintage record player, it can be a ploy to disguise or hide more serious issues amounting to poor storage and misuse, such as woodworm for example. Why risk it? Buy with total confidence from Tutti Audio. Excerpt from The Times on Saturday 3rd December 2016… The Chartered Trading Standards Institute warned of the dangers of buying second-hand electrical goods. An investigation of charity shops, antique dealers and second hand shops found that 15 per cent of 3,019 used electrical goods did not comply with safety rules. Leon Livermore, chief executive of the institute, said: “people should only buy second-hand electrical goods that have been tested, and should only buy online electrical goods from trusted suppliers.” End. Every Dansette sold by Tutti Audio is comprehensively refurbished with equal attention directed at enhanced safety measures. A signed three-page report accompanies every player detailing the extent of the work carried out.If there’s ever been a true saying it has to be… “You get what you pay for.” *Please read our useful guide to buying a vintage record player directly below this listing* Detailed description covering this outstanding Dansette Conquest... Originally built in circa 1960, this Dansette Conquest is in truly striking, vibrant order. All original and guaranteed woodworm free. Uber retro, and simply amazing considering it's now well into its sixth decade. This highly sought after red and cream example has been thoroughly professionally restored by Tutti Audio. As with every vintage Dansette or Hi Fi we sell, each comes with a comprehensive refurbishment, safety and inspection report, dedicated operating instructions and 12 month warranty. The first page of the report covering this player can be viewed in the above image gallery. This compelling, mid-century icon is finished in all original, unmolested red and cream Rexine which has cleaned up with superb results. The speaker grill cloth has been replaced with a brand new, traditionally woven vintage material which is a very close match to the original. All of the cabinet furniture was removed before being thoroughly cleaned with excellent results. The domed side protector feet, hinges, handle clasps and control knob trims have all been replaced with gleaming brand new brass fittings. There are no major blemishes to note other than a small degree of wear and tear and a couple of blemishes on the lid - quite astonishing given its vintage. It is indeed a wonderful piece of timeless mid-century furniture, destined to bring hours of fun, rekindle memories and kick start many dinner party conversations. The two stage amplifier comprises an ECL82 valve. First introduced in 1956 the ECL82 is an audio triode + output pentode. The power supply section features a solid state half-wave rectifier.The player is fitted with a brand new BSR X5M (medium output - stereo compatible) crystal cartridge and new stylus (LPs/78) - correct for the two stage amplifier. The amplifier has been thoroughly overhauled:- volume, treble and bass control potentiometers and valve base cleaned. All out of tolerance resistors have been replaced along with all electrolytic capacitors including those within the main smoothing/reservoir block. Vitally important is that a new triode anode to pentode grid 0.01uF/630V capacitor has been fitted. Equally important is that safety earth (star point) bonding has been greatly enhanced (main amplifier chassis, control panel assembly, record deck and motor casing) and a new 3 core mains lead, 'P' clips and plug fitted complete with a commensurately rated 2A plug fuse. The pick-up wiring has been completely renewed with screened cable and a special interface added for use with Tutti Audio's exclusive add-on Bridgit Box for Bluetooth streaming. The BSR auto-changer turntable assembly has been thoroughly serviced, is in excellent condition and plays at 16, 33, 45 and 78 RPM. Due to signs of deterioration the rubber turntable platter mat has been replaced with a funky 'Top of The Pops' themed, audiophile grade felt mat, exclusive to Tutti Audio. New control knob round nomenclature labels have also been added. This fabulous, iconic record player comes complete with a brand new set of 18" Sputnik style legs and brackets. Ample volume and a really great original valve sound! FROM NOVEMBER 2016 ALL DANSETTES RESTORED BY TUTTI AUDIO ARE BRIDGIT BOX READY/COMPATIBLE This Dansette is available to buy separately.

Intro by designer Bob Amos of Tutti Audio
Dansettes are the most sought after record players of their generation. Endearing mid-century styling, vibrant hues and a unique warm sound spoil the senses of many, evoking memories like no other player of its generation. Further fuelled by a strong resurgence in the popularity of vinyl, we’re experiencing a Dansette revival on a dramatic scale.
The hitherto untried idea of interfacing these vintage gems to the modernity of Hi-Fi and wireless connectivity seemed to me a natural progression. I wanted a simple solution, not wanting to detract in any way from their evocative sound and charm.
Bridgit Box COMPACT is an exciting plug and play add-on that radically extends the enjoyment, versatility and usefulness of your cherished Dansette without altering its inherent performance characteristics.
The outcome has exceeded my wildest expectations. Not withstanding the practical benefits, it’s hard to convey in words alone the performance uplift attainable. Put simply, it just has to be heard.
Meet clever clogs Bridgit …
The inherently high output impedance and signal voltages of crystal and ceramic pick-up cartridges are completely different from the magnetic devices used in modern day turntable equipment. They are however essential to drive the fairly simple single and two stage low power valve amplifier designs found in vintage record players, including Dansettes. Whilst it’s fairly straightforward to mix and match modern day separates using wired or wireless connectivity, up to now it’s not been possible to hook your Dansette up in this manner.
Bridgit Box overcomes this problem by providing a suitable interface buffer to the modern electronics world, opening up a whole range of extended listening pleasures and options.
When desired, you can now stream your Dansette to any wireless Bluetooth™ loudspeaker or music system for superb quality sound and much greater volume levels.
Similarly, the Bridgit Box COMPACT also provides a suitable line-out interface for wired connection to your HiFi amplifier or music system with equal benefits.
The Bridgit Box COMPACT simply connects via the tape socket available on certain Dansette models. Models without a tape facility require a simple modification.

Techie Overview – How it Works
Bridgit Box COMPACT is powered from an integral 9V battery (PP3). Very low power consumption allows for long battery life.
The input signal is fed directly from the crystal or ceramic pick-up cartridge in your Dansette or vintage record player. On certain models this is accessible via a ‘TAPE’ outlet ‘RCA phono’ style connector fitted from new or retrofitted 3.5mm jack connector. Upon activation by plugging in the Bridgit Box, the pick-up signal is disconnected from the Dansette’s internal valve amplifier. Removal of the plug reinstates the signal internally for normal Dansette operation. The pick-up signal is fed into a purpose designed solid-state impedance buffer. The conditioned line-output compatible signal from the buffer is accessed via a 3.5mm jack socket fitted to the Bridget Box COMPACT. The line-output signal strength can be varied by the user via a ‘LEVEL’ control.
Wireless operation is achieved through a self-powered Bluetooth transmitter dongle that simply plugs into the line-output jack socket. The transmitter is easily recharged via a USB charging cable, which is supplied.
No driver software or set up is required to pair the transmitter to other compatible Bluetooth devices such as loudspeakers, headphones or music systems.
For wired connectivity, line-out is simply connected via a suitably screened lead to the auxiliary input connector of a remote HiFi amplifier or music system.
