Thrift Store Find: A Fisher-Price Record Player

It was cool to have access to a record player as a kid.  Whether you were spinning a 45 of kid's music like "Puff the Magic Dragon" or using Dad's Victory at Sea soundtrack to  listening to spur your little green Army men onto victory, a record player was lots of fun.  I recently found this old Fisher-Price Record Player at Park Avenue Thrift in Marietta, Georgia, for only $3.

I opened it up, plugged it in, and played a random track from a Johnny Cash record pulled from the nearby bin of vinyl.  It still worked and it still sounded pretty good.  Since the store was getting ready to close, I turned it off and left it on the shelf.  There were plenty of kids records in that vinyl bin.  Hopefully, the record player would add to wonderful childhood memories for someone else.
