They say the studio shots were from 1953.  I certainly hope they are at 
least 5 years older.  The turntables are RCA 70-D's with only the 
wide-groove 28 gram arm that can only be used for 78s or ETs.  Surely if 
this was a new studio they would have had the microgroove ton arm 
installed and probably also the 45 RPM adapter
