"Doctor Who"
Originally uploaded by grabbingsand.
When I was 14, one of my most prized possessions was a record player. Actually, I had two. Then three. The first was an all-plastic contraption from Sears with cubicle speakers that could be pulled out from the pedestal upon which the turntable sat. The second was one I inherited from my brother, this brick-heavy convertible monstrosity with built-in speakers. And the third was a radio/turntable/dual-cassette all-in-one. Big, shiny and black, it looked the most real of them all.
I still have many of the records and 45s that played on those players. I don’t listen to them so much, but they’re worth sharing, so I’ve scanned several of them. Check em’ out.
Consider this another entry in my ongoing and occasional Origins of Geekery series.
