I'm guessing it was probably around $30 to $40 back then, or have you been able to find an accurate price. razzputinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16754500857094296036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2499453915127182561.post-18138604022392077472016-01-26T15:06:46.767-05:002016-01-26T15:06:46.767-05:00UncleAtom (at) g mail dot co M UncleAtom (at) g mail dot co M Uncle Atomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10727387676551708772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2499453915127182561.post-26047995691210209932016-01-26T13:22:23.313-05:002016-01-26T13:22:23.313-05:00Just provide an email for the photo.

Now I'm a 62 year old bass head who can't get enough of my Canton subwoofer. It's a 50lb, 140watt, sonic thunder air piston.

I'll have to learn more. The seller, whose hobby is collecting and restoring these players, told me it would play stereo records, and he sounds like he knows what he's doing. <br /><br />I'm not really too concerned, most of my records have been bought for the cover art anyway. I'll be doing some upcoming posts on more of the cover art I've collected.Uncle Atomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10727387676551708772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2499453915127182561.post-13320755908526188412011-05-16T19:06:13.058-04:002011-05-16T19:06:13.058-04:00Gorgeous!
Hi-Fi and Stereo are not the same thing...Gorgeous!<br /><br />Hi-Fi and Stereo are not the same thing. Hi-Fi was a kind of amped-up mono. You MAY want to check the covers of old stereo LPs to see if there is a notice indicating that it can be played safely on a mono record player. Early on in the stereo era, there were often warnings that a stereo record could be damaged if played on a mono player. Could be true, or I suppose it could have been a ploy to sell more stereos :-) Later stereo records were labeled as playable on non-stereo equipment.moviemag46https://www.blogger.com/profile/03937606610082430100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2499453915127182561.post-45428511001862066032011-05-16T16:46:53.976-04:002011-05-16T16:46:53.976-04:00Nice!
