    That is very cool.

    Might be more interesting than it appears at first glance. Around WWII and shortly after they played with an encryption system that used records to scramble transmissions, with a corresponding one on the receiving end to descramble. Not saying that's what it is, but it looks to have a few more knobs than you'd expect.

    Oh, there were more than a few SS TTs that were made for portabe/picnic duties. I think I recall one that "loaded" the LP the way a car CD player does so that it could operate in a moving car. I have to research that one.:biggrin:
