I am searching for information about this item, on the box (which I saw one of on the web,) it is called "Worlds Smallest Old Fashioned Victrola that Plays," made in 1983. It is 4 ¾" high and 2 ¼" wide. It plays (via AA batteries,) 6 miniature records: Turkey in the Straw, Oh Susanna, Give My Regards to Broadway, Old Gray Mare, Dixie, Take Me Out To the Ballgame.
Has anyone ever heard of it?

Skukla,

There are a few clips on YouTube of that little machine. It's very neat!

Regards,
John

I have one of these, haven't even thought about it in ages. It does play and the records are real.

I have one of these, too. Another interesting feature is that the records are vertically modulated. Perhaps one of the last examples of pure vertical modulation (stereo records employ both vertical and lateral).
