@store275 Solid state was a marketing gimmick, meaning transistorized amplification. Earlier versions of this player used an acustic system, similer to an old victrola. Ealier phongraphs (after victrolas) had tube type amplifiers.
@sygo7g Most Definitely!!!! I have a friend who's dad bought THE first RCA Selectavision VHS vcr in 1976. I would love to go through those original VHS tapes and pluck out the commercials or whatever. I didn't get my first vcr until '84!
Mr Nelson here is correct. This was probably recorded on a reel to reel VTR. They definitely were B&W only. I remember this commercial very well. It ran 1977-78. I had a friend who had a C & P that he got in 1971 for Christmas that was still the old accoustic pick-up design(killed the hell out of your records, too).
Yes, this was an ad from when the Close N Play first came out. The 1972 ad tried to be cooler, but failed miserably, LOL.

@duanerichardson1 This is a solid state version, with electronic amplification. The original 1967 version only had accoustic amplification.

That it used Transistors and other discrete electronics. The first Version of the Close n Play was with Mechanical Amplification.
