- 0:42the topics discussed on the portal. I'm with
- 0:44the journalist Enzo Mauri, who introduces today's
- 0:47topic. Good morning, today I'm talking to you
- 0:50about a particular turntable. Between the 60s
- 0:52and 70s, the market of stereos, radios and turntables
- 0:56was literally invaded by products inspired by
- 0:59space exploration. Among these, the Sanyo Phonosphere
- 1:03RPT 1200 of 1970 aroused a certain interest.
- 1:06At the time, the Japanese Sanyo, in fact, became
- 1:09the spokesman for the trend that had invaded
- 1:11the world of art, fashion, design and architecture.
- 1:15The result was precisely the Sanyo Phonosphere,
- 1:17which, thanks to the base seat, could be placed
- 1:19in any corner of the house. In reality, the Sanyo
- 1:22Phonosphere was nothing more than a simple plastic
- 1:25turntable, colored, with 45 and 33 turns, whose
- 1:28originality was all in the shape. The dome shape,
- 1:31in fact, remembered the astronauts' helmets everywhere,
- 1:35half of the sphere the transparent one, just
- 1:37like a helmet, could be rotated backwards to
- 1:39then be closed forward during listening to the
- 1:42disc and therefore also act as a protection against
- 1:45dust. Opportunity, however, allowed only with
- 1:47single discs since the base of the sphere was
- 1:50not large enough to allow the lid to close with
- 1:5333 turns. The lower part of the sphere contained
- 1:56the integrated loudspeaker and the tuning scale
- 1:59for the AM radio. The base of the Sanyo Phono
- 2:01Sphere, in addition to containing the wheel for
- 2:03volume and selection, and radio phono also housed
- 2:06the one for the ignition and shutdown of a small
- 2:09headlight. Another peculiarity of the PhonoSphere
- 2:11signal was the stroboscopic effect typical of
- 2:13dance venues created by a specific light. The
- 2:16light was reflected on a small mirrored cover
- 2:19provided with turntables and placed on the adapter
- 2:23for 45 rounds. All these features made the PhonoSphere
- 2:27signal one of the most iconic turntables in the
- 2:29so -called space age. How to have fun, anytime,
