Période

1958 - 1970's

Canada

As recalled by the donor: "The Fleetwood was a gift from friends of my family for my 13th birthday in 1958. They said that they could get me a new stereo player that had just come out. - I think they knew someone at Fleetwood. My parents advised against it because there were very few stereo records available. In fact, I could only find three stereo records in the stores when I first got the Fleetwood, one of which was called "This is Stereo," from Capitol Records I believe, that demonstrated the stereo effect. I'm still going through my stuff in the basement so it may turn up. The Fleetwood spent a lot of time at teenage parties in my neighbourhood for the first couple of years. I kept using it in my bedroom for about ten years and then had trouble finding a replacement needle. After that, it moved with me for sentimental reasons and wound up in my basement which irritated my wife who said, " By the time you're ready to throw it out, you'll be able to donate it to a museum." Which brings us to now and our move to Vancouver. My wife turned out to be right."
