Who doesn't want a gigantic banana to play their vinyls? Plays 33 and 45 rpm records in any position, and comes with a carrying strap as shown in the inset.

Guessing here, but looks to me like the white thing holds the record in place. Otherwise, the record might fall off in some positions.

This is as portable as vinyl record players have ever gotten. You can buy this today for $200

Here's a TechMoan video about it: https://youtu.be/b48XD9P8klM

I have one and love it. Can only use it upright though. That must be banana technology lost to time.

Adjusted for inflation the banana player cost about $300
