Who remembers these?

My parents had a console RCA stereo center and would play the 45 over and over to fill a cassette tape. Buddy of mine had the radio shack portable player and bought a PA horn. Those were the days.

I still have some along with older 78 LPs from the '50s.

Before the vinyl LP records, they made what looked like an LP record but they were single song records that played at 78 rpm. Back in the Glenn Miller days. I still have a bunch of my mother-in- laws old 78s. Anyone ember the Harmonicats? The records were not vinyl, it was more of a brittle bake-a- lite plastic. Ah, the Harmonicats playing “ Heart-O-My-Heart!

I used 1 to call some crows many years ago. It really worked well

Those were purchased in the mid '70's from allied sporting goods. Forgot why I bought the Elk Bugling record living in Kentucky.

My cousin still has our grandparents old stereo console. It was made out of beautiful solid Walnut which woulf be considered, "presentation grade".
Still works great. Only parts replaced were two new speakers and a tone arm stylus. The console is an example of when things were made to last.

Remember you could stack them up on a large diameter changer spindle (without the inserts) and have music for 15-25 minutes as your changer dropped and played each record.

Still have a box of inserts stashed around somewhere...

Those Johnny Stewart tunes were a little hard to dance to

I have a 78 rpm that my mother had put away of Hank Williams circa 1951 singing Love Sick Blues.

It’s a miracle it never got broke.

Many a crow danced their last dance to Johnny Stewarts CT201.

I am restoring a vintage Garrard turntable right now!

A mechanical marvel

The guy who figured this out must have taken a long vacation to recover from the work!

No CAD just pencil and paper!

 

[jds holler]

Kind of a coincidence that this thread got started just now. Me and the Missus just happened to have the portable set up for a little dancin. A little Lefty Frizzell an his string band. jd

nice, looks like brass and leather

I walked by the music section at the big box store, and they have more vinyl records than they do CD's. They also sell turntables. What's old is new again.

On the crow call recording there’s one spot you can hear guys laughing in the background.

I still have a Johnny Stewart cassette in a little portable player out in an old shed. Called in a lot of coyotes with it.
