This 1976 “Record-Vacuum” by Ronco™ is hardly a vacuum. It’s basically a record holder with a wheel that spins the record against 2 foam brushes. This may have been the talk of the town back in ol’ ’76, but now it’s virtually just a Record Dirtier (As seen on TV).
I guess after 37 years the brushes may need to be changed out. Not sure if Ronco™ is still manufacturing those. The history of Ronco™ can be found here. Surprisingly, the damn thing still turns on!
I basically keep it around as a conversation piece, but sadly, those conversations are quite short (much like this post).
That Richard Pryor head coming out of the thing just cracks me up! 😀 Ranco should make a wifi/bluetooth record player. Did I just hire myself on with the products team at Ranco?
