## Description

Fisher Price Classic - Record Player

Review: Not good - These used to be analog like a music box with little springs. Now it's digital, which completely ruins the experience.
Review: Our 20-month grandson loves it. He knows the songs and sings along as best he can at his stage. Seems to still be a quality -built toy.

## Features

- FISHER PRICE CLASSICS: Fisher Price herintroduceert klassiekers uit je kindertijd, zoals deze platenspeler, en hanteert nog steeds dezelfde hoge normen voor al hun speelgoed, waaronder intrinsieke speelwaarde, vindingrijkheid, sterke constructie, goede prijs-kwaliteitverhouding en actie.
- MUZIEKDOOS PLATENSPELER: Dit muzikale babyspeelgoed, gelanceerd in 1971, bevat 5 ‘afspeelbare’ platen, met in totaal 10 liedjes. Plaats een van de platen op de draaitafel, wind deze op en plaats de ‘naald’ op de plaat om te luisteren naar 10 tijdloze deuntjes.
- FANTASIERIJK SPEL: Deze platenspeler is ideaal speelgoed voor het bevorderen van fantasierijk spelen, terwijl de creativiteit van kinderen geprikkeld wordt tijdens het leerproces. De platen kunnen handig in de platenspeler worden opgeborgen. Bovendien is het speelgoed voorzien van een handvat zodat je overal van de deuntjes kun genieten!
- ROLLENSPEL SPEELGOED: Kinderen zullen er dol op zijn om mee te zingen, terwijl ze hun gehoor en taalontwikkeling bevorderen. Het nieuwe ontwerp bevat bovendien prachtige illustraties die het product een exclusieve vintage look geven.
- FANTASTISCH CADEAU: De Basic Fun!-speelgoedlijn van Fisher Price is zeer geschikt als verjaardags- of kerstcadeau en bestaat uit reproducties van klassiek Fisher Price-speelgoed dat oorspronkelijk tussen het midden van de jaren ‘50 en het begin van de jaren ‘70 werd uitgebracht.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it require batteries**
A: Yes. They digitized it. Instead of a music box mechanism in the record needle it has four buttons. The lines on the discs change the order that the buttons are pressed and that tells the chip in the unit which song to play. You still have to wind it to make it spin the batteries are just to power the small electronics in it. IMHO This is inferior to the original.

**Q: Does this version have a music box type movement in the arm that the original had? Some say it is electronic and not the same.**
A: Alas! It does not have the original music box sound. The new version makes annoying electronic music. I dug out my kids' old 1970's version and rehabed it for my grand kids and gave away the new one to toys for TOTs.

**Q: are the songs the same as vintage set? camptown races, london brigde, etc?**
A: The vintage 1970's set has 5 records (1) Hickory Dickory Dock / Edelweiss, (2) Twinkle Twinkle Little Star/ Au Clair De La Lune, (3) London Bridge / Oh Where has My Little Dog Gone,(4)  Jack & Jill / Humpty Dumpty,  (5) Children's Marching Song / Camptown RacesChildren Marching Song

**Q: Is this made from PVC plastic?**
A: It is made of a hard, durable plastic, like the original ones, only made in China, but seems to be good.
