How many of these has anyone seen? It’s a circa 1960s JVC Nivico SRP-471E turntable. Not much information is available about these online.

 

Detail shot of the SRP-471E. It plays 16 RPM records! And is that a variable speed control knob?

The most iconic audio ad of all time. Who cares if it’s not stereo? Maxell advertisement, circa 1970s.
