Fisher-Price Music Box Record Player Toys
In 1971 the Fisher-Price Music Box Record Player was marketed and its popularity would be evidenced by it being released again in 2020 as a Fisher-Price Retro Toy for Kids ages 18 months +. Ten songs on five records could again be heard from a toy being identified as a "Record Player" (now battery operated instead of the original wind-up dial on the front).
