"Hear Angel Trumpets and Devil Trombones" at the Stanley Kubrick Exhibit

This is the turntable that was in Alex's bedroom, part of his stereo system. But we never got to see it in operation. Instead, we saw Alex pop a micro-cassette into his tape deck to listen to Beethoven's Ninth Symphony -- at least the second movement anyway.

 

Ironically, microcassettes never really quite took off. CDs would dominate the market, along with regular cassettes. And now LPs are making a comeback, along with turntables.
