It was, in a metaphorical sense, obscure, an “intellectual pantry” or “spiritual home” where a man could reflect and dawdle with tools and toys.

Oh c'mon - everything's relative! ... that hole is big enough for a 45 spindle. But the record itself is 2 feet wide (yikes, who remembers what a turntable spindle is these days?) _________________________ 1959 TR3A - "TeeYah" Commission: TS47527L Engine: TS48235E

TOC Silver Member Jedi Warrior Registered: 06/17/08 Posts: 494 Loc: Kirkland, Wash., USA	I used to have a 12V 45RPM player for the car, of all things..... As stated, one of the "hallmarks" of 45's is the big hole.....just like with Colt.

Brooklands Luke Skywalker Registered: 05/06/07 Posts: 1705 Loc: Lehigh Valley PA	Some children's records came in 45 rpm with the small spindle. Working on the record collection for our 45 rpm juke box at America On Wheels, we have received a few of those which I have not cataloged to be in the collection because the juke box cannot play the small spindle records. They are not real common, but they are out there. We have a number of 45 extended plays from the big bands with 3 or 4 songs per side. They are real bargains on our unit where it is a nickel per play. _________________________ Dave Reese Vist my web pages! 1962 TR3B - TCF120L - "Fagin" 2009 MINI Cooper Clubman - "Cooper" -------------------------------- "Nurture your mind with great thoughts, for you will never go any higher than you think." -- Benjamin Disraeli

deadair Senior Member Registered: 10/09/09 Posts: 76 Loc: Belmont, CA	But it clearly says "LP 33" on the label, so... Besides, the seller has admitted to never playing it.

Don Elliott Luke Skywalker Registered: 12/13/04 Posts: 1717 Loc: Montreal, Canada	I don't need a 45 RPM or a LP 33 RPM record to know what my TR3A sounds like. The real 1958 TR3A I have owned for over 51 years is just down the basement stairs and I can listen to those sounds any day I want this winter - Christmas Day included. All I have to do is open the garage door while it makes those wonderful sounds. BTW in the last 19 winters of storage, I have never put my TR up on blocks. I got 43,000 miles during 10 years of driving on the first set of new Michelins (the limit suggested by tire experts) and now I'm on my third set of tires having driven over 102,000 miles in the past 19 summers. Life is great - so are the sounds. Attachments
