They’d really be confused by the 8 track player I had in my first car.

IMHO, the 8 track was better. At least you could jump between songs. I grew up with cassettes and that drove me nuts. (I wanna hear it again! Good luck...!)

The hand crank wax cylinder on my boggy will really confuse them then....

In the early 60's a friend of mine had a 45 rpm player in his car...fit over the center console..had a spring to keep the arm pressed down on the record. IF/WHEN it worked, you wore out a needle AND a record after a few plays...most time it didn't work..bumps and potholes would make it jump and skip all the time..

this isn't quite it..this is a more complex model
