No, that's a 45 RPM *ADAPTER* since the TT was built as just a 33/78
table.  The C1 is pre-war, but it IS in the worst condition of any I
have ever seen.  The activator for that adapter has been removed, but
the parts saved.  But so much else is missing, like the original
vertical/lateral arm and the equalizer assembly. And as I mentioned on
the ARSCList, I'm not sure it would be a good boat anchor because there
is too much wood.  Also not a good door-stop because it would block the
door.  Because of its condition and the missing parts, this isn't worth
a dime more than $50.  And I mean $50 REMOVAL charge!
