How many turntables have you owned?

It REALLY makes you think, when you realize that your first TT was maybe a Mattel. Maybe I was 6 years old. It was red, my favorite color.

There have been Many since then, but none of them since then were used to sling little green army men of the platter when turned on.

dogberry,

   Yes! I forgot about the steel needle on my first TT. My father talked about cactus needles being used at one time, I had no experience with that. Indeed, there was to be a long succession of TT's in my future, but that wasn't so uncommon in the 60's now was it?
