GONE

Old school.... " The original record changer, the Stack-O-Matic was a staple in American homes in the 1960s. Now it's back, and except for technical improvements, unchanged. Fans and purists will rejoice that it's still just a portable record player-no radio, cassette player, or CD player has been added. Plug it in, open the lid, stack your records (7", 10", or 12"), choose the speed (33 1/3, 45, or 78 rpm), and enjoy. Belt-driven turntable mechanism, automatic swinging tone arm, stereo speakers, diamond-stylus needle. UL®-listed. Wood cabinet wrapped in brown and tweed vinyl with attached carrying handle. 19 1/2"w x 8"h x 14 1/2"d. 18 1/2 lb"

So, Dubb: this is what I have in my living room. I _wish_ I could hook this up to my receiver. The ipod thing I posted yesterday, I think that's what I'd like to build... just not with this old player.

If you google around, the Traveler (original 1955) player goes for $150-$210....thank god for yard sales ;-)
