@EstateManor yes, I also have memories of the teachers playing educational records on Newcomb record players. once in a while they would bring in a reel to reel tape recorder.
@MJAngelLove funny how these things bring back school memories for so many people. I should have played a school learning record rather than dopey old music. thanks for watching! - Katt
OMG I remember these beast record players from when I was in school! They were loud so you could play them in classrooms and auditoriums (as well as over the kids' talking, yelling, etc.). They could take a beating too.
@MegaEvilBrain yes a bit of history from my school days! the Newcomb has very nice warm rich sound. they were the best of all the commercial record players.
@AMD1 well about 4 years ago I remember borrowing a Newcomb from my grandmas school (she was a teacher at lewis vincent elementary, sadly she passed away and her school wanted the Newcomb back) so i know they still use them.
good songs, my school had these players well only the first one and they were built like tanks, very durable. we used them to play records in music class in 4th grade, yeah my school was cheap and we only had these units and a box or records, then the teacher used to roll in a piano later on then she recorded herself playing the songs on a cassette recorder and when she rewound the tape while playing it made a squeaky sound and the class laughed and she got pissed
I remember in 1966 in the fourth grade listening to "learn our vowels" or some such thing...and on this very kind of record player.
