eBay of the day DJ Turntables from the 1920s eBay item 220262676074 is a great looking pair of record players, apparently from a radio station. Im not sure theyll fetch $2,200 + $250 shipping, but theyd make a handsome drinks cabinet. In Bill & Franks essential book Last Night a DJ Saved My Life , theres a 1931 picture of Christoper Stone, Britains first radio DJ, wearing black tie and leaning over a console a bit like this one. In Frank & Bills telling of the story, the first man in the world to ever play records in public for people to dance to was Jimmy Savile, who - in 1943 - hired a function room in Leeds and cobbled together a system from a turntable and a radio. By 1947, he had two turntables and a microphone. Jimmys later claim to have invented rap music in 1962 is perhaps less convincing...
