Yes, I have LP albums from CBS and Columbia showing the new then stereo's. It's rather interesting learning the pressing plant and mastering symbols on the records dead-wax area at the end. The had plants around the country. NY, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago, Tera Haute Indiana, Virginia, of course California.
Well, the first post: Now there's an ad that I hope will convince you to make all your appliances Frigidaire!
How long will each of those beautiful poppies last before they all break and need replacing one-by-one, and that red is an exclusive color it will be hard gfor anything, even white, to stand next to...

Columbia Records also had a pressing plant in Kings Mills, OH for several years in the late 1940s through the early 1950s. The building complex was built around 1916, and was the Peters Cartridge Co. factory. It was mostly vacant for decades, but was recently renovated into condos and restaurant.

I can do you one better - I've got a pristine RCA Victor 45 player with the optional carry case.
Of course it's been restored by me along with making some minor modifications.
I did countless 45 players at the shop over the years, however the parts for a proper restoration amount to $100 or so.
I had an RCA 45 record changer/player like this one without the carrying case when I was in 7th and 8th grade. It had belonged to my grandpa originally.
At Christmas time he used to play Christmas records on it that went through a speaker that was over the front door. Once on Christmas Eve a group of carolers came to the door and asked if he wanted to have them sign carols for him? He said, “I got my own GD Christmas carols playin’, can’t ya hear em?“ Grandma was standing behind him and said.”Oh Walt give the kids a dollar and let em sing Jingle Bells”. So Grandpa relented and gave the kids a dollar and they sang.
When I had the RCA 45 player I used to play Beatles 45’s on it endlessly when I got home from school. Every week when I got my $1.00 allowance I went to the Variety Store and bought a couple of new 45’s at 50 cents each. That little RCA 45 record player was great to have!

I've restored those Admiral units.
Handwired chassis, built like a tank construction, and for early stereo products, they wern't that bad.
No Rubbing from 1951! 
I remember my Mom using Pride liquid furniture wax very well. It smelled like gasoline to me.

My mom used Johnson's Pride for many years. I have a couple of the bottles, and one still has a little left in it.
