1967 solid state Sylvania Exponent 440-2 portable. It has a Garrard record changer with a 4-pole motor and a Pickering magnetic cartridge, sealed acoustic suspension speakers and a 20-watt per channel amplifier. This was not your average fold down, swing out stereo record player of the '70s. It weighs a ton and sounds like it. The one picture shows it set up for an after hours 45 party, connected to a pair of Definitive speaker columns. We shook the floor joists until 4am.

Vintage Sylvania Exponent 4/40 GT Record Player with Garrard Turntable and speakers! This is the real thing, all original, sounds amazing!
Found this little beauty awhile ago.
Sylvania Exponent Model 4/10-1. Its a suitcase type fold down portable record player with a Garrard turntable in it. When I found it, it didn't work, platter was frozen, and it had a decent layer of dust on it.
Today seemed like a good day to dig into it.
Found the right cords, got the platter moving, retro-fitted a new Audio-Technica cartridge/stylus and got this sweet piece working. Sounds pretty good although it's a portable so its not all that loud. Perfect for a bedroom.
Cleaned up pretty nice. Very gently used if ever. Very clean vinyl covered wood with no rips or scuffs to speak of. Motor is strong, and auto function works. I'll post a video on my timeline so check it.

1966 Sylvania Exponent 4/20 Hi-Fi record player. It still works great! And, it's portable!
Sylvania Exponent 4/50- the top of the line portable for the year (1971) this one truly is a console chassis in a portable case. Magnetic cartridge, and FM stereo tuner. The performance is just great. It's so big, I have to put the speakers behind it to fit it on the table.
