Possibly not by much...?! You might recall the RCA table-top 3-speed "record
player" I had back at 211 Pape...set up as a "78 deck" so I could record
78's (and often did, for your CBC programs...!). It was probably sixties or
even early seventies...but, on the inside of its "lid" it had the same exact 
decal
as all Victrolas did...Nipper, and the "Victrola" name!

...stevenc
(wish I STILL had it, but that is a long and sad story...anybody out there 
in
"Radio-Land"have a 3 or 4-speed "record player" which uses the fork-
shaped Astatic N8 needle...?!)
