Even smarter, put a piece of black tape over the idiot light! A solution most often used for the Service Engine Soon light.(LOL)

Green transparent tape would be better. Then they would have a "good to go" light

Even worse, I've never heard of a 16!?, but vinyl is making a comeback. However I'm sure that once one of todays kids finds out you have to get up off yer arse and flip an LP over , God forbid, every 15 or 20 minutes, it won't be a long comeback(LOL)

You're just not old enough Dave. Either that or you're too old and your memory is shot... lol.. The 16 2/3 came out in the early 50's I think, and was used mainly for spoken word recordings due to the fact that you could get over 40 minutes per side on it. Now for the shocker. At one time there was also an 8 1/3 speed. Those are even rarer than the 16's. Due to the fact that the 8's and the 16's spun quite slow, the quality was not near as good but for the spoken word, who cares about quality.
 
Yeah I believe it. I have friends that could have made money back then. LOL.
