A 1970's Monogram Show 'N Tell Phono-Viewer, made by CBS Toys, USA, with 9 Picturesound Program records and film strips. To be offered for Auction in the General Sale on Wednesday 24th July 2019.
The Show’N Tell was a combination record player and filmstrip
viewer for children. Manufactured between 1964 and the mid to late 1970's by General Electric Company and then later by CBS Toys until the 1980's.
A 7-inch 33⅓rpm record was played on the record player that sat
on top of the Show’N Tell player, while images from a strip of 16mm colour
film in a rigid plastic holder were shown on the viewing screen at the front.
There were 15 images in total on the filmstrip, and the programme lasted for
around 4 minutes, with the images automatically advancing as the record played.
The record and filmstrip sets were called Picturesound
programmes, and many different programmes were licensed for the Show’N Tell
system. By 1965, 140 programmes were available.
