Wow, I had forgotten all about this thing. My grandparents had one 45+ years ago.
For some reason I was never allowed to play with it, but I was obsessed with it.
I would sneak it out of the drawer where it was kept just to give it one or two spins before quickly putting it back.

Ill bet they used it for porn. You were probably one spin from away trauma everytime you borrowed it
