Califone "Continental" record player from '59

[radiotvnut]

I've worked on all three major players in the school record player market and Califone seem to be the lowest end of the 3. They were still decent; but, not on the same level as Audiotronics and Newcomb. I think the absolute cheapest school record players that I"ve seen were made by Hamilton. I had one of their models once and it had a cheap IC-based amp and was on the tinny sounding side.
