[78-L] Vertical turntable

I notice it says you can play any record you own because it has 2 
speeds. They are nor after our market, for sure.

I remember in the 50s or 70s, there was a display in one of the local 
stores, a TT mounted upside down hanging from wires and playing records 
just fine. I guess that would be the ultimate in acoustical isolation.
