    Only a 3-speed radiogram can bring you the full enjoyment of the most important development in recorded music in 20 years-Microgroove long play records, at either 33 1/3 or 45 r.p.m, now available in New Zealand. Mckenzie & Willis introduces "Escort"- the 3-speed radiogram that plays these revolutionary new discs, or at the flick of a switch, reverts to standard 78 r.p.m. for old type records.
