LOL,

Well we won't talk about the fun I had at the antique mall with the Little Richard Speciality (Tutti Frutti)78 that had gotten cracked in shipping. Went from Victrola to Victrola, some as old as the 1920's. That got the attention of quite a few people.

One of the coolest things I saw on youtube was another 1920's wind up, (NICE windup) playing Jerry Lee Lewis-Whole Lotta Shaking

Back in my Classical Snob Days as a teenager, I had fantasies of having a vintage jukebox loaded with classical repertoire. A variety of such 45s were made in the early days of 45s, during the "format war" of Columbia's 33 vs RCA's 45.

In my reply #12 above, I meant to say the Victor Victrola with an electric motor was called an <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Electrola. Some of these units included a radio. So Sorry.</span>

Liked that Victrola auto TT-very clever.And liked the rentry horn "speaker" amazing device for being non electronic.The "hi end" Hi-Fi of the 20's!

All of Elvis' early hits were originally released on 78 as well as 45 rpm, as were many other recordings issued through sometime in 1958.

We didn't get a record player that also played 33 and 45 until '58. It was a portable Symphonic brand.
