Welcome, brothers and sisters, to the First United Church of the FisherPrice® Record Player. The Reverend Most High Cybermuffinhas been very busy lately, having relocated to Pagan Lands (a.k.a Texas), where the nativesare unenlightened to the sanctity and salvation that is the Fisher Price®Record Player. I can only update this page when I have timeoff from converting the heathens (being a missionary is a tough position)so I apologize if the sermons don't change much.

Breaking News: I've had word from Kevin who ran The Record Rack,where I used to refer people seeking replacement needles, and he is shutting down the web site. :-( He did let me know that the make andmodel of the needle that fits the Fisher Price Record Player is one calledPfanstiehl 911-DS77, and he also suggested another web site, Garage 'A Records, that may be ableto supply replacement needles. Good Luck.

This is a picture of the Orginal Player (that which began the obsession which begatthe First United Church FPRP). It belongs to NickFranclik, the bass player for the ElectricFarm. He used to bring it to mellow shows, like at the Open Space ArtGallery in Allentown. (Indeed, that is where this picture was takenby my good friendFluffy.)and lays things like Bob Dylan and early RollingStones on it It's missing the plastic lid, but that's okay.This player was featured heavily in the artwork for the Farm's first release,Six, in 1995. Nick actually has a bunch of Players, not justthis one. I think this one is his favorite, though.

Why worship the Fisher Price Record Player? Ithaca double barrel shotgun identification. Well, there's kind of a long story behind it, but I found myself buyingone for someone who knew Nick had them and thought they were highly cooland kept going on and on about how he had to have one, so I started tolook for one last September, thinking it would make a hell of a cool Christmaspresent for him. On my very first day looking, I wandered intothe local Goodwill and perused the shelves for about 45 minutes.I didn't see anything that looked remotely like a Fisher Price Record Player,although I found a Fisher Price Stereo System and a Fisher Price Camera.(Pretty amazing what Fisher Price has come up with - you may have heardabout the obsession with PXL-2000's - they're going for about $500 ingood working condition now, which isn't bad for a toy video camera thatrecords on audio tapes.) Just as I was about to give up, I took onelast stroll down the kitchenwares aisle, and noticed a cardboard box thatwas shoved toward the back. I pulled it out, and there it was.My Very First Fisher Price RecordPlayer. For the whopping priceof $4.00. I could hardly believe my eyes. I rushed up to thecounter and purchased it, my heart pounding. I got it home that eveningand put on my The Pretenders album. It sounded great. I wasso utterly charmed by this little plastic toy record player that I knewI had to have one for myself. I told my friend Erik about my searchfor one, and he mentioned that his sister might like getting one for herbirthday, and then my buddy Fluffy told me she wouldn't mind having oneeither..

So I found one for Erik's sister ($6.00 off of Ebay)and one for Fluffy ($3.00 in the Quakertown Salvation Army - the kid whorang it up wasn't even sure what it was supposed to do. I was like,'It's a toy turntable. For playing vinyl. Aaaahh, kidsthese days! Never mind!')and one for myself. Then I had to move to Germany, so I gaveup on looking, being as how the Germans couldn't possibly understand the charmof the Fisher Price Record Player.

Then I moved to England, where there were no Fisher Price Record Players either.Then a brief stint back in Allentown, and now I while away the days in the DFWarea.

Thanks for listening to my preaching. If you wish to make a pilgrimage,I have included directions to the Holy Land for you.
Enjoy.

Question: Repairing a Fisher Price Record Player?

August 14, 2007

I found one of the old Fisher Price Record Players (see picture) at a yardsale and bought it (hard to find those nowadays!) Anyway, I plugged it in and tried it with one of my old children's records and when you put the needle on the record, it just sits there, it won't get in the 'groove' like it's supposed to and play the record, it will either just sit there or slide right off, I thought I could hear some sound in the speaker but it's distorted and low - even with the volume at max. Anyway, my question is: do you think it's the needle that's bad or something else? What should I do with it? (I don't want to throw it out if I don't have to.) Thank you!

You need a new needle. Google record player needles. They are still available and so worth it! I just love my record player and so enjoy playing my old records!

We use to tape pennies on top of it to weigh the needle down. A new needle is the way to go though.

I have one too! My son had a blast when he found it the other day and put on a Star Wars instrumental record I still had. He thought he was in the fast track listening to it. ;p
Mine was the same when I bought it and yes it was the needle that needed replacing. I found a new one at Radio Shack. You can look in the yellow pages under record to see if there are any repair places near you that may have needles as well.

Don't throw it away, because at least you can find a repair shop and get it fixed for around 50.00. This may be cheaper than buying it in working condition.


Starting with the needle is the best place to start but it also could be the cartridge with holds the needle that needs to be replaced. These run about 30-40 dollars. Thus the need of a repair person too. Good luck!
