Tell the Truth Which Was Your First Record Player

We all gotta start somewhere. Did you inherit some old console TV/Hi-FI or maybe a Singer portable swinger. When your sister went to college did she leave behind a Box Top Record Changer ?

The question is what record player was the first one you actually began playing records on. Which way did you discover the tactile joy of spinning those 45's and LP's

And just for fun if you can remember what was the first record you bought with your OWN money. The one you choose above a Banana Split at Woolworth's for 49 cents.

45, LP or 78 the only criteria is that it be with your own money not something your parents got you.

Here is Mine.

My first record player was a record changer by Emerson. You opened up the top and it became useable. The speaker was the front. Mono only.
First record ever was either Thunder Road or Quiet Village don't remember which.
First LP came from my sister it was a set of things like Peer Gynt for kids etc. The stories were good and so was the music.
Later inherited a Stromberg-Carlson tuner with multiplex and a turntable and hugh speakers. After that got into components and it has been my mania ever since.
