Speaking to you as if you are 12 years old, RCA explain how a stereo signal is cut into vinyl and reproduced...

Quality 1950s stereo there. I don't think I'd let my records anywhere near it!

Cheers,

That's cool, I always wanted to ride along the groove of a record (although that specific groove seems to contain nothing but some high-frequency noise)

Well of course RCA is the first to offer stereo Victrolas. If "Victrola" is a trademark, anyone else has to use a different name.

Yes, it wasn't very convincing, was it?

All demonstrations with ceramic cartridges too - enough to make me shudder, never mind a hardcore audiophile!

Whoever posted it to YouTube probably got it from the Prelinger Archives (http://www.archive.org/details/LivingSt1958)... lots of viewing and download options there, and lots more great films, like The Sound and the Story (http://www.archive.org/details/SoundAndTheS).
