There is , however an ATTITUDE requirement. If you have a geezer's attitude, then you qualify. Simple as that. And a shot gun and a desire to chase punks off your lawn.

They usually used the cylindrical device that came with it. I've still got some (in my 45's). Haven't played them since 1978. [:D]

Usually bright yellow plastic I think. My 28-YO stepdaughter had no clue. I realized you had to be a certain age to know what a "45" was as well.

For those that are trying to get rid of the great art that is the signatures of many of our members: Git off our lawn! Let us keep our signatures the way they are. It helps us old farts see who is writing the post, just by the signature picture!

[:)] A 45 RPM record had one song on each of two sides. A-side, B-side. The A-side was the "hit", or what the record company hoped would be the hit. The B-side was filler. But music history is replete with B-sides that became hits, even huge ones.

Sorry if I didn't manage to get through - being 52 yo with a couple of LP players behind me, I know perfectly well what the A- & B-side was, but I don't want to admit that [:D] Anyway, kudos to you for the flawless explanation though [;)]

Did ABBA ever produce anything that wasn't huge hit potential? [:'(]

I don't know about the others, but on old Fords, a matchbook cover was perfect for setting point gap...
