    Fun fact! Motorola started out as a company making record players specifically for cars. The big name in record players at the time was Victrola, and since they were making them for motorcars they called themselves MotoRola.

        Even more fun! In-car record players were made upside-down so that the weight of the record held it against the needle. These are all of my record player facts.
