It was a hard thing to admit, that my school had some better equipment than I did.
Those classroom portable school platters seemed to sound good, especially when the platter in the cafetorium/stage or gym system played through narrow-band horn speakers intended for speech  , making anything sound awful! |
Most school age children only had simple kiddie record players. Manual turntables and one tube or low power solid state amplifiers. When they got a little older, maybe they got an inexpensive portable stereo, such as the GE offerings.
The schools had equipment specified by the school board and were usually a lot more expensive than the consumer models. The amplifiers had to be a lot more powerful, for large areas.
