DESCRIPTION:
It seemed as if everyone had one -- or wanted one! Now you can relive the history of those records with the big center hole and the fabulous machines that played them -- both highly prized by collectors today. If you grew up in the 1950s, you probably remember playing your favorite 45 rpm disc recordings on an automatic record player. Then enjoy hundreds of color photographs showcasing 45 models produced by RCA and other licensed manufacturers. Captions provide descriptions, model numbers and names, original selling prices, and current values. Read about the trials and tribulations of the engineers and managers at RCA Victor Corporation, which nearly decided not to introduce the new players to the product line after all. With some care, these fascinating machines will continue turning for another fifty years!. And for those who are technically inclined, a final section provides repair and restoration tips. There are also magazine ads and dealer sheets, tips on dating models, RCA memorabilia, and more
