Dredged up from memory

We were talking about turntables. The first separate turntable I knew was a Rek-O-Kut (if you're not counting a roundhouse turntable). It's amazing that I remember this, that nobody there knew the name, and that Rek-O-Kut is still made (or perhaps it's being made again). I'm also reminded of N. and J. and their post-war HeathKit mania.
