A GREAT FATHERS’ DAY GIFT
In preparation for our two garage sales (the second one was Saturday) we uncovered all our old vinyl phonograph records. There are 78, 33 and 45 rpm records. Those 45 rpm records are the ones with the huge hole in the center. We put all the records in the garage sale. Only a few sold. Between the first and second garage sale Karon pulled out several records.
Dumb Me! I told her, “There’s no use to save those. They don’t even make turntables any more to be able to play them.”
It seemed like I had no more than spoken the words until Karon was showing me an advertisement from Big Lots. (Boy! I do like that store!) There it was -- a sale on “retro phonograph players, complete with turntable to play 78, 33 and 45 rpm records!
You don’t get three guesses as to what I got for Fathers’ Day! Yep -- a retro phonograph player with an adapter for 45 rpm records. This one is really neat, though. It is a convenient table model size and can play records or CDs and has an AM/FM radio. Plus there is a place to plug in earphones and an MP3 player.
For a table model with dual built in speakers, it has a decent sound. And best of all, it is simple enough I can run the machine. I’m about the only one that can run the record player because I’m about the only one in my family old enough to have owned a phonograph player growing up.
I’m happy with it and very appreciative. And Karon will enjoy it also.
Come over and we’ll “spin a few platters!”_
