A friend gave me this model A75 talking book record player that was built by Interstate Industries for the Library of Congress for loan to participants in the talking book program for the blind and physically handicapped. This unit plays 8, 16, and 33 rpm and uses an IC-based amp. When I got it, the volume was very weak; but, that was easily fixed by replacing an open 25 uf bypass cap on the audio IC.
During the '70's, these players came in many colors (usually, a different color for each model year).
