Isnt that a curved writing tool used for writing on wax tablets or something?
Also wasnt it the needle to record music onto a record? (since im assuming your refering to its use for music)
I'm old enough to remember turntables. They were around until the early to mid 80s.
I had one, a cheap Emerson which was actually pretty good and lasted pretty long. I had a couple AC/DC LPs, and a few 45 singles. Then, for a few years, cassettes became the dominant form with CDs hitting the scene in the late 80s.
I also remember the other things we did with the turntables. Like play it backwards to look for Satanic messages. I also used to put Star Wars action figures on them as a form of "torture."

Don't they cut hair? Hair Stylus?

Yes they do. Not that theres anything wrong with that.
With the really old turntables you just changed out the "needle" with the later high falutin fancy srobe controlled you the had the more expensive " stylus cartridge". All seems so primitive now. Just don't anybody walk across the bouncy wood floor while the record is playing.

You can still walk? Anyone that can remember record "needles" should be tied into a wheelchair and fed soft very soft food.

I'll bet not many TERBITES have used the old wall phones with the microphone on the wall portion and the speaker on a long wire. You had to pick up earpiece and crank the handle three times to reach the operator who then gave you the first available line. She actually pluuged your extention into the local call numbers just like an intercom.
there was no voice over IP at that time.

I remember when you had to get up and change the channels on TV, the old black and white sets with the 2 rotary knobs... one for UHF and VHF.
When the TV was turned off there would be a green dot that would stay in the center of the screen for about 20 min's.

Remember those really boring late night cowboy and indian movies where the camera stayed focused on the indians head and he never moved. Damn, those were dull.
