- Notes
-
The Swingster was a portable batterry operated record player designed for small children in the late 1960s. It had a unique design where the tone arm rode on a steel rod which at the end or record play could be lifted to raise the tone arm and automatically place the needle back at the begining of the record with ease. A design that did not catch on nor work particularly well. Production of the Swingster and this design ended fairly quickly.
