eBay watch: Patrice Dupont-designed Philips 303 UFO portable record player with a low starting price

Ufo

I know this is something we have featured before, but I can't resist flagging up this Patrice Dupont-designed Philips 303 UFO portable record player, because the starting price is so low.

All too often, this icon of the 1970s space age era comes with a substantial 'Buy It Now' price, but this example can find its own price. As auctions always should. This UFO has the red cover and has apparently been checked by a 'specialist', with 'quite expensive, Germanium Transistors' replaced, so it's good to go for many more years. it also has a new battery compartment (works with battery or mains) and plays 'like a new one'.

A few minor usage marks, says the seller, but nothing more. Which is why it's worth talking about. Bidding stands at £1 right now.

eBay watch: 1970s Philips 303 UFO record player by Patrice Dupont

Ufo

We have featured this design before in our eBay slot, but we are covering this 1970s Philips 303 UFO record player by Patrice Dupont once more because this example is just so cheap.

That could be because of a couple of minor problems – the battery cover is missing and there's a crack on the hinge. Neither affect operation and everything else is just fine. In fact, it even comes with a rare blue lid as a bonus, so that's something.

Which all makes it something of a bargain. Right now this UFO record player is at just £1. We have seen these making £300+ in the past, which gives you an idea of how much of a steal this is.
