Subject: RE: Thought for the Day (Nov 9)
We used to have a couple of (non-music) records and a player made of cardboard that the listener supplied the power for. There was a little hole in the record, so you stuck in a chopstick and twirled it around yourself.

I don't remember what the record was about - Bible stories, I think - but it was great fun messing around with the speed. I have no idea where it came from, and I've never seen one since. This isn't ancient history - maybe 15 or 20 years ago. It didn't especially look like a child's toy either.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
