If you grew up in the 1950s, you likely remember the joy of playing your favorite 45 rpm disc recordings on an automatic record player. It seemed as if everyone had one or wanted one! Now, you can relive the history of those records with the iconic big center hole and the fabulous machines that played them, both highly prized by collectors today.

Read about the trials and tribulations of the engineers and managers at RCA Victor Corporation, who nearly decided not to introduce the new players to their product line after all. Discover the challenges they faced and the innovative solutions they devised to bring these machines to life.

Hundreds of color photographs showcase 45 models produced by RCA and other licensed manufacturers. Captions provide descriptions, model numbers, and names, original selling prices, and current values. Additionally, you'll find magazine ads and dealer sheets, tips on dating models, RCA memorabilia, and more.

For those who are technically inclined, a final section provides repair and restoration tips to ensure that these fascinating machines continue turning for another fifty years. With some care, these machines will be cherished by generations to come.

So, take a trip down memory lane and explore the world of automatic record players. Whether you're a collector, a music enthusiast, or simply curious about the history of these remarkable machines, this book is a must-have for anyone who wants to relive the golden era of vinyl.
