Just a quick thanks to the Anon who answered this Anon's question about the 45's tracks.

" I'm still drawn to the once cutting-edge entertainment technology of my youth..."

Officially nominating Donald Benson for the Plaid Stallion Grooviest Comment Of The Week.

Y'know, the only thing cooler than a hand-held cassette recorder is one that transforms into giant samurai robot with a rocket pod on his shoulder, a laser missile launcher side-arm and his own personal army of nasty little cassette-minions. Just sayin'.

Ancient enough to remember commercials for Emenee toys in the early 60s. There was a little loudspeaker with a microphone; the commercial showed some kids singing into it (the original karaoke?); then a bunch of boys playing war with one kid wearing the speaker on his chest while yelling orders into the mike (I wondered if real soldiers did that). I also associate Emenee with spots for a toy bagpipe, but that could be a misplaced connection.

Even with an iPod carrying thousands of tracks, I'm still drawn to the once cutting-edge entertainment technology of my youth: Little reel-to-reel tape recorders; stereos with woodgrain veneer and fold-out turntables; Give-a-Show projectors, Castle Films, etc. I may still have a handheld cassette recorder around here somewhere, from the time it was marketed not as a toy but a yuppie executive tool.

I particularly remember coveting a little player piano called, I think, Pianolodeon. Never acquired, but I do have a lot of player piano recordings on the iPod.

From the 1942 Walter Lantz cartoon of the same name.

In reply to Anonymous. Apparently the 45 it came with was C.W. McCall's Convoy, with the flip by a band called The Company, I found it in the comments on a YouTube vid about the jukebox jamboree record player! - Mark J

The truly burning question is what tracks were on the "7-in. record included".

Awesome, I guess this would've been the next step up from the Fisher Price travel record player?? – Mark J
