[NTLK] Old Technologies

[Ed Kummel]

Forget about the record player "eating" records...Think about what the heat in an enclosed car did to the record! On a summer day here on the east coast, you would have ended up with puddles of black goo in the front seat!

We couldn't afford one because they were expensive, but famously, Muhammad
Ali had one.  And a rich acquaintance of mine had one in his car briefly.
He got rid of it, complaining that it ate his records.  When 8-tracks came
out, he was the first guy I knew who got one.

 
Shalom.
