[AMRadio] For Sale Record Player

[Mark Foltarz]

It is just amazing that those ever worked. 

But they did.

It is fascinating that the cartridge could generate enough votage to drive the
50C5 to speaker volume.

I had one of those players as a kid. I used the amplifier section make my
crytal or one tube radios be heard in a speaker.
