[78-L] ear tubes

[Michael Biel]

I will NOT go downstairs again to take a picture of it, but Lafayette
used to sell an earpiece which fed two eartubes.  That is what you saw. 
Come to think of it, Telex also made them for school language labs.  I
got some examples also that I know where they are.  I'll look on web for
pics.

 In 1965 there were a couple of Lenco turntables in the record library
at CJRT (Ryerson student station) which had ear tubes. No idea what
amplified the sound since I don't recall any external controls.
