Record players for kids - 1957.

From page 648 from Spring - Summer "Montogomery Ward" catalogue.

It's interesting they were still using acoustic pickups that late. 78s were almost extinct in new releases in the us by then and it looks like children's records were mostly on the new speeds. Those acoustic players must have been murder on those 33 and 45 rpm kids records.

Tom,

Vanity Fair made phonos with acoustic pickups and electric motors into 1971. The very low end models of said genre. Yes, they were as bad on records as you describe.

Those acoustic klutzes were not very nice. And wore records fast.

Those 1957 where 78 r.p.m.
Did they later manufactured acoustic record players for microgroove discs?

No, they didn't make proper acoustic players for microgroove discs. Inappropriate for that application.

I have about a dozen and a half 12" single sided microgroove 78 RPM records with hymns being played on Chimes and Chimes and Vibraharp that I got from my church that they used to play on their outdoor speakers before Church and Sunday School, the records were meant to be used to give people the impression that the church had an Electrical Carillion System installed and playing, the records dated to the late 1950s I believe.
