ABSTRACT:
A toy phonograph having a base, a turntable, a first pickup arm engageable with a playing surface of a first phonograph record on one side of the turntable, a second pickup arm engageable with a playing surface of a second phonograph record on the opposite side of the turntable. The first phonograph record having a clockwise sound reproducing groove and the sound reproducing groove of the second phonograph record having a counterclockwise sound reproducing groove. The sound is picked up from the sound reproducing groove by direct resilient contact of a speaker cone assembly with each of the pickup arms which presses the respective pickup arm into playing engagement with the phonograph record. The speaker cone assembly includes a lift bar containing an aperture adjacent the end of the recording with a protrusion on the respective pickup arm being received in the aperture as the pickup arm reaches the end of the recording. The device may function as a talking toy bank wherein a coin inserted in the slot will cause the lift bar aperture to raise a sufficient amount due to engagement of the coin with an extension of the lift bar so as to unseat the protrusion on the associated pickup arm and enable the pickup arm to be resiliently reset to the periphery of the phonograph record, with the activating coin subsequently being dropped into a receptacle therefor.
