K-Tel Record Selector (vintage TV commercial)

It's 1972, and for just $3.99 you can have your very own rec-CORD selec-TOR, from K-Tel!

Wonder how well that would work with today's rec-CORDS? Those heavy 180 gram double and triple lps that come out these days would probably break that thing within a day. Honestly wouldn't mind having something like that for all my rec-CORDS though.

Only 50 bucks today

I'm not gonna lie. I kinda want this thing.

...and hey, if you're an 8-track kind of guy, K-Tel has you covered too!

It even "fits conveniently in your car!"

I remember my folks having the record selector. I wonder if my mom still has it?

Wow.

That's my only comment. I'm old enough to have a TON of re-CORDS and STILL don't feel any need to have that thing. I have these things called "fingers" that let me flip through all my reCORDS.

Space Age technology!!!!!!!

Speaking of K-Tel when I was 9 years old Rock 80 was my favorite album:



I wish I still had it. We moved to Tennessee from Michigan when I was 9. The next summer I went to Michigan and stayed the summer and I brought this record with me on the trip and played it on my older brother's turntable (he is 20 years older than me and he did not move when we did and I used to stay for a month or so with him every summer). This record brings back a lot of memories.
