This record player was purchased in 1960s by an Emerald couple for their family to use. The turntable is a multi-play turntable originally found in mid-century console stereos. The turntable was superseded by CDs (compact discs) in the 1980s and, in the 21st century, by streaming music. In recent years, there has been a resurgence in the popularity of turntables driven by a desire for analog sound quality and the tactile experience of physical media. The LP (long playing record) was first invented in 1948 and resulted in an explosion of album-based music. The 78 rpm shellac discs, which were in operation up until that time, could hold barely four minutes of music per side compared to the LP's capacity of 23 minutes of music per side.The record player and the LP are 20th century technologies which are enjoying a new wave of popularity.1, Garrard Ferguson 2025TC turntable 2.
