It was a good day to buy. Please pardon the mixed subject matter. L to R: old lunch counter stool top with googie pattern, Burke model 115 chair, two Orchids R-91 mugs, Arthur Lyman's Bahia, 20 Martin Denny Golden Hawaiian Hits, Burke model 116 chair, Les Baxter's Skins, four small ceramic stacking tiki cups with different faces on each side (some of them have a 69 incised on bottom; they look very much like the ones on page 178 of BoT), Martin Denny's A Taste of Honey. Arthur Lyman's Taboo, Les Baxter's Tamboo, Martin Denny's Afro-Desia, Martin Denny's Exotica, four more stacking tiki cups, orange lunch counter stool top with incised googie pattern, two more Burke 115 chairs. I'm wondering if its wise to play the mono LPs with a stereo needle. The guy who sold them to me (eight for five dollars) said that monaural groves were wider as were the needles that played them and that stereo needles tend to gouge out the bottoms of the grooves. Anyone know about this?
