"Extremely Rare Vintage Presto 64A 16 inch transcription turntable. This was the best professional turntable made at the time. This was far better than turntables from RCA, Western Electric, Gates, Fairchild, Rek-O-Kut & others. This was one of the early original radio station turntables. Presto introduced these in 1940's. They are a very important part of our broadcasting history.Model: 64-A Transcription Turntable - Presto Recording Corporation;Material Wooden case Weight266 lbs.Dimensions(WHD) 25 1/2 x 29 x 24 1/4 inch Two speeds, 33 and 78 rpm. Measurements for shipping Case would have to be at least 31x31x37 HISTORY: In the 1940s, radio transcriptions, which were usually on 16-inch records, but sometimes 12-inch, were always made of vinyl, but cut at 33⅓ rpm. Shorter transcriptions were often cut at 78.26 rpm. These records were usually vinyl, 33 rpm, and 16 inches in diameter. No home record player could accommodate such large records, and they were used mainly by radio stations. They were on average 15 minutes per side and contained several songs or radio program material. These records became less common when tape recorders began being used for radio transcriptions around 1949.Under the stickers on mine 33 1/3 rpm and 78.26 rpm ORIGIN:Name: Presto Recording Corporation; "
