Homer Stickney is my Grandpa, still alive at 92. Told him about your comment the other day at the hospital and it made him smile.

I did a double-take. When I first saw the photo, I thought it was a waffle iron with speakers--being sold on a Ronco ad! :D

I found one with the stand in a garage sale but had been totally destroyed by kids beyond restoration. Heartbreaking.

That looks like a BSR mini-changer. I have one like that and one with the all plastic arm.

Wow! In the thumbnail, I thought it was a football-shaped record player. Very sharp indeed.
