It is not a 45 . It is the small 33 1/3 rpm.

 

yes I know it's a 33 1/3 but remember playing 33 1/3 at 45?? everyone sounds like alvin and the chipmunks.

 

Sick and wrong I know, but I have a projector with the record player attached for watching just these very things. I also bought an insurance salesman's case which opens and has the record player with built in 12 inch viewing screen. I have thought about having my strips/records dubbed onto VHS or DVD to sell but was always concerned about infringement and it was too expensive to do just for me. Would anyone be interested in these anyway?

 

I think I have the '70, 71 and maybe '72s, the film strips are not all there, the pics of the '70s are awesome. I also have Dukane strip/record players for showing such. Some day move to DVD. Copyrights, I don't know? Old enough GM probably doesn't even know that some us may even have them, they figure the dealers threw them out, when to new ones came in!

 

I have what i think is a complete set of 10 records and films for the 1970. All still in the original mailing boxes. Hard to find projector and player combination.

Let's go to Tim's house.
I'll bring the beer.:laugh:

 

...I have the stereo from 1967 to play it on.

 

NICE!!!!!!! Fisher by any chance??

 

Ah! aaThere's a name I hadn't heard for a while. Nope. It's a 1967 Fleetwood. $3624 back in 67. I got it for $10. Platinum needle, liquid core drivers, parabolic reflection boxes. Sounds better than anew CD player.

...and I have the 1962 TV to match. First one made in North America without tubes!

Sorryto rattle on... I'm proud of my junk :grin:

 

hhhhhhhmmmmmmm dont remember fleetwood and $3624????? Cost more that my buick NEW!!!!!!!!

 

I have a turn table that will play my 45s and 33 1/3's

I need a Victrola to play my 78's

:grin:

 

I have a few record players. The one that I have in my basement is a top of the line Technics. When you put a clean record on it sounds better than a CD.

I have a aftermarket RCA record player for a car. I have not tried to hook it up. The picture I have is not my player, but mine is exactly like it.

I have a 1958 United Juke Box that loads them and plays them for you.

 

Once apon a time, I had the orginal Sony Walkman.

 

Kind of why I bought it back in 87. A small house cost that much in my Grandfather's home town, but 20 years later the thing was junk, heading for a garage sale... despite the fact that it was in mint condition!!!

Fleetwood was a specialty electronics place. Kind of the Ferrari of the home electronics world. At the time they were the only ones using "solid state" electronics. This stereo came with an optional tape player back then. Fleetwood went out of business in 1969, most of the company was bought up Sony IIRC.

The stereo unit sits in a 7X4X3 box of hand carved oak. AM/FM "Solid State" tuner on a slide control. Internal and external speaker ports, automatic record changer, and a tape player.

 

I love my turntable. It's a Rotel that I bought for $30 from a friend. I think vinyl has the potential to sound WAY better than a cd, with decent equipment. I also have one of those portable GE foldup suitcase deals... it's kind of fun to drag out once in a while and spin a 45. Geez, you'd think I was 49 instead of 29!

 

I wonder how many years of film strips/records the board could round up? I have complete 1968 sets, part of 1967 and part of 1970. I also have random ones from the early 60's.

 

clint,
you've got to post a pic of the system!
that sounds so awesome. Imagine that set-up in a musuem
in 30-40 years!!

 

this whole thread has been very enlightening.
