Show'N_Tell abstract "The Show 'N Tell was a toy combination record player and filmstrip viewer manufactured by General Electric from October 1964 to the 1970s.It resembled a television set, but had a record player on the top. Records and slides were sold for it in combination (known as Picturesound programs). The slide strips, a flat plastic key 11 inches long containing a strip of 16mm color film, was inserted into the top of the device. As the record played (typically telling a story), the slide strip, through which the images were projected on the screen, would automatically advance to illustrate it. The mechanism by which the slide advanced was purely mechanical, and was based on the rotation of the turntable, so proper operation required manually spinning it a few revolutions before beginning the presentation. The original selling price of the unit was $29.95 and Picturesound programs sold for 99 cents with a "a library of five programs" selling for $4.95.Thirty-five programs were grouped in seven "libraries" initially:Fairy Tales and CartoonsChildren's Favorite Classics IChildren's Favorite Classics IIHistoryScience and SpaceThe World We Live InSteps to KnowledgeLicensed film strip and record packages were produced for many different children's properties, including Disney and Sesame Street. An advertisement in LIFE Magazine also specifically mentions Pinocchio, Peter Pan, and the Wizard of Oz "as well as educational programs created by World Book Encyclopedia." By 1965, there were 140 programs available.It also functioned as a standard record player, able to play 16, 33⅓, 45, and 78 RPM records through its built-in speaker.General Electric released a "compact" version (Model A605) of the Show 'N Tell in 1966 for $19.95.The Show 'n Tell was also sold as the Show 'n Tell Phono-Viewer by CBS Toys, in the early 1980s, under the brand name "Child Guidance." These devices, which were drastically redesigned from their earlier version, only had two speeds (33⅓ and 45), and could not play full 12" LPs. However, the Phono-Viewer could optionally move the projected image off the built-in screen and onto an outside surface (such as a wall or screen).".
