- Record player - Fleetwood, speeds 78, 45, 33 1/3, 16. Model 319 / Serial No. A 56555 / . . . . / MADE IN CANADA / RECORD PLAYER CORPORATION". It has a pop up 45 rpm record, centre on the turntable. the turntable was coated with flocking type of finish rather than having a felt or rubber mat. The 16 rpm speed was an attempt to give longer playback times. The fidelity was not good and was used mostly for voice only recording (story telling for children) or on musac type recordings. This was used for a short period c 1957 to 1959 and then faded away.
