An example of a portable stereo manufactured and marketed in Canada. The stereo was purchased by the donor’s father, Frank Kasnas, on one of his many trips to Montreal as a Metropolitan Life Insurance Canada agent. Exemple d’une chaîne stéréo portative fabriquée et commercialisée au Canada. La chaîne a été achetée par le père du donateur, Frank Kasnas, lors d’un de ses nombreux voyages à Montréal en tant qu’agent de la Metropolitan Life Insurance Canada.
Function
To play back recorded discs at 16, 33, 45 or 78 RPM. Utilisé pour jouer les disques enregistrés à 16, 33, 45 ou 78 tours par minute.
Technical
The manufacturer makes a point to advertise that this stereo is “all transistor” meaning that there are no vacuum tubes and helps show the industry’s transition towards solid state transistors. Type sample of a mid-60’s player used when 16 RPM records made a brief appearance. Le fabricant se fait un point d'honneur d'annoncer que cette chaîne stéréo est « tout transistor », ce qui signifie qu'il n'y a pas de tube électronique et aide à montrer la transition de l'industrie vers les transistors à semi-conducteurs. Échantillon témoin d'un joueur du milieu des années 1960s utilisé lorsque les enregistrements 16 tours ont fait une brève apparition.
