Okay, okay, you're all doing good, but how many had these?

[Archae]

I did. :-)

[Moondog]

1. Well,

my father had one. And I am older than dirt, so ....

[femmocrat]

2. I remember those "plastic inserts" (last picture).

Not the other ones, though.

[Archae]

4. They'd fit over the automatic spindle...

Then we could put 5 or 6 45's in a stack.
They would pay one after the other.

3. After your last quiz, I woulda thought this unnecessary, but...

5. Holy crap, I recognize about half of them.

And I'm just 53.

Damn.

That's it, I'm buying a cane tomorrow.

[Archae]

7. Don't feel bad, I'm 50, and I recognize nearly all of them.

The ones that look "crooked" had no parts in them, they fit directly over the automatic spindle.

6. You guys are messing with my brain...

making me think of things long pushed aside. Now I'm remembering a gold Close and Play record player and the distinct smell of a needle on vinyl...

:crazy:

[mockmonkey]

8. Never had one that worked very well

Either they got stuck or two fell at a time. Always awesome when the first one wouldn't fall and the needle scraped against the turn-style matt. :rofl:

11. Then you got to go to the store and try to figure out which

one of 500 varieties of diamond needles fit your machine.

9. 2nd row, 5th from the left looks like what we had.

[hippywife]

10. I had the square boxy ones.

It did allow you to stack more than one record at a time. :hi:

[HughBeaumont]

12. 1st Row, #6!

Holy outdated medium, Batman!

[Still Blue in PDX]

13. I had one of the cylindrical ones and one of the Gumby-looking ones.

I couldn't pick them out of that lineup, though. The CRS has got me, or should I say that I have CRS?

[Iggo]

14. 4th Row, 2nd From The Left.

Panasonic.

[Old Troop]

15. Nope. We didn't have one of those nice hi fis
