Dansette was a British manufacturer of record players, radiograms, tape recorders, and radio sets. ==Company success== Some models of Dansettes record player had a BSR autochanger allowing several records to be loaded at once, and played in succession. It was first manufactured in 1952 and at least one million were sold in the 1950s and 1960s. Dansette became a household name in the late 1950s and 60s when the British music industry shot up in popularity after the arrival of acts such as Cliff Richard, The Beatles, and The Shadows. Teenagers would have used various Dansettes player to take to and from parties to listen to the newest records at the time. Manufactured by the London firm, J & A Margolin Ltd, the Dansette model of record player was a common sight in many British households during the 1960s and is a statement and artifact of the vibrant, popular youth culture which developed during the period. The Dansette was a versatile machine with many being equipped to play 7, 10- and 12-inch discs of 78, 45, 33⅓, and 16 rpm. Larger models such as the ''Bermuda'' could be fitted with optional legs for home use, while the ''Viva'' and ''Junior'' models were designed to be transportable, with a handle and studs affixed to the side of the case, latches to secure the protective lid. Like almost all record players of the day, they had built-in speakers. Even though Dansette players cost a lot of money, some experts and fans of the industry argue that the players were overrated. Despite this criticism, Dansette managed to outsell other makes such as Dynatron, Bush, Kolster-Brandes, Ferguson and many more. Dansette set a "standard look" for all portable record players of the time. The look was generally a latched lid on top, a speaker and control knobs on the front, and sometimes a carrying handle. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dansette」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
