Portable record player from Graceland
An RCA Victor record player with an incredible story. This item, which is still in good working order, was given to a disabled fan by Elvis himself outside of his Graceland mansion. The fan, Dorothy Rucker, had informed Elvis that she had not heard his latest release as she did not own a record player. On December 27th 1961, Elvis presented her with his own player as a late Christmas gift. The exhibition purchased the record player directly from Dorothy in 2009.
