My mom and dad had a restaurant in small town Saskatchewan (Canada) and my first exposure to records was in their old Seeburg jukebox that played 45's. I was fascinated by how the jukebox would pull out 45's from the slot, play them, and then pop them back in to their place. The song that was played the most back then was "Don't Bring Me Down" by the Beatles. Unfortunately, the jukebox wasn't the most reliable piece of machinery; the vacuum tubes seemed to always burn out.
Other than that, my first real turntable (or record player) was a Sears model that had a fold-down shelf and built in speakers. The platter was made of plastic. My brothers and I were thrilled to have purchased that record player (from the Sears Catalogue) along with our first Carpenter's LP. Those were the days!
