Ohhh the good ole days. I remember playing records, however, not at 8 RPM. Neat capture!

Scratchy Old 78rpm...Made to Look like a Wining Photograph!

Thanks Robert. Check bottom left corner for speed settings and notice that in addition to 33 rpm records this set plays 8 rpm speech records that were made for the blind.
