Ours was 78, 33, and 45 rpm’s
Supposedly, there were 16 rpm audio books and full concerts available. They could play for slightly over two hours front and back, I guess. I'd just play my 45's at that speed to make them S L. O W &. sound funny. Little Richard would sound like Wookie on bad street drugs.

That was the high end deluxe model. Ours was much more basic TV. And they must have had an outside antenna because there are no Rabbit ears on top. The hardest part of being the human remote was adjusting the position of the Rabbit ears. You would get it just perfect, then when you walked away the picture would change. Plus you had to choose between UHF and VHF before doing the final channel selection.
Getting the color balance right was a chore, too. The blue/red vs the green/yellow- no RGB chip! Most bar and hotel tv's were way off; orange skin with purply blue hair etc. And it would be different for different channels. Thank goodness we had only 5 before UHF came in.
