Can we talk about the old Fisher Price record player my grandma kept in her basement?

I found it last weekend in her house in Akron, Ohio and figured it would totally suck compared to my phone. But I dropped a 45 on that plastic turntable and the sound came through clear as day, no batteries needed since it's wind-up. Honestly I was singing along to some random children's record for like 20 minutes before I realized how ridiculous I looked. Has anyone else dug up a toy that actually held up way better than you expected?

Everything from that era worked better than it had any business to.

Nope. They were built like tanks for no reason. Simple and tough.
