A rare bird! Maybe the last of its kind anywhere. Going along with John, I'd guess a CTC-11 clone.

ANYBODY ever seen a 16 RPM record ? I think they were used for those wild 'n' woolly car TTs of the '50s-but I've never seen one. I can only imagine how badly awful a car TT would be...But this TV/combo IS luscious...an' they're always a half-bazillion miles away...<sigh>

In the late 70's, I did see some 16 RPM records. They were voice-only, language-training records, 7" diameter. I do not remember how long the playing time was, but it could have been 15 minutes or more per side on a 7" record at 16 RPM.

Oh, and if you play your Chipmunks records at 16 RPM, you can prove to yourself that it's really David Seville (Ross Bagdasarian) singing all the parts. |

16 2/3rpm was the Speed for the Chrysler Highway Hi FI car record players. Nobody sold the records except Chrysler. The music choices was pretty slim. Maybe that is why they did not really sell well.

While the Chrysler units only played 16s, I think that at about the same time RCA came out with a car record player that used 45s, but I can't remember now where I read that.

I've listened to the Chipmunks at 16rpm and it is a very weird effect! H-e h-a-d t-o t-a-l-k v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y.

i always thought 16 was a 10 inch.my first job was working at an antique store and the owner had a brunswick wind up,and a bunch of 78s and 16s,so me being young i put a 16 on the brunswick and yea it was pretty awful.capitol issued alot of stuff on 16(that was the only lable i remember on 16)and the titles were like "honkey tonk piano" ,"16 pianos 1 player",oded stuff,and then i got super confused when i saw a 10 inch 33 grrrrrrrrrrr.
