Birch Manhattan 78 rpm record player

It seems odd that they bundled the pickup wires with the AC line cord, right where hum could be picked up.

I think children's 78's were pressed well into the '60's. Of course, the material they contained would not likely be listened to by anyone over the age of 7.

There was also records on the back of breakfast cereal boxes. IIRC, they were 78 rpm. I also used to get those thin vinyl records advertising Time-LIfe record offings. They were 33 1/3 rpm stereo. Actually sounded fairly good.

I believe you are thinking of Eva Tone soundsheets. I used to have hundreds of them.

There most certainly WERE childrens records at 78 rpm made into the 1960's. I remember, i was a child, I had some. There were also cheap acoustic 78 rpm childrens record players up to the 1960's. In fact, ALL of my Peter Pan and Little Golden Records from my youth are 78's. Small 6" and 7" records in colors.

dont you wish everything had a schematic attached to it, complete with values and part numbers.
