The Show 'N Tell is a toy combination record player and filmstrip viewer manufactured by General Electric from October 1964 to the 1970s at GE's Utica, NY facility. It resembles a television set, but has 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 longcontaining a strip of 16mm color film, are 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, automatically advance to illustrate it. The mechanism by which the slide advanced is purely mechanical, and was based on the rotation of the turntable, so proper operation required manually spinning it a few revolutions before beg

  • De Show'N Tell was van de jaren '50 tot de jaren '70 een speelgoed in de vorm van een combinatie tussen een platenspeler en een diaprojector, geproduceerd door General Electric . Het apparaat had de vorm van een televisietoestel, maar dan met een platenspeler erbovenop. Platen en dia's voor de Show'N Tell werden verkocht als set. De diastrip, een vlakke kunststof sleutel van zo'n 20 cm met daarop een strook 16mm-filmframes, werd in de bovenkant van het apparaat gestoken. Als de plaat werd afgespeeld (meestal een gesproken verhaal) schoof de strook het apparaat in waardoor de beelden werden geprojecteerd op het beeldscherm. (nl)

  • The Show 'N Tell is a toy combination record player and filmstrip viewer manufactured by General Electric from October 1964 to the 1970s at GE's Utica, NY facility. It resembles a television set, but has 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 longcontaining a strip of 16mm color film, are 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, automatically advance to illustrate it. The mechanism by which the slide advanced is 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 $29.95and Picturesound programs sold for 99 cents with "a library of five programs" selling for $4.95. Thirty-five programs were grouped in seven "libraries" initially: * Fairy Tales and Cartoons * Children's Favorite Classics I * Children's Favorite Classics II * History * Science and Space * The World We Live In * Steps to Knowledge Licensed 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. Each program moved through 15 color slides and ran approximately 4 minutes. 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). (en)

Het toestel werd begin jaren '80 ook verkocht als de Show 'n Tell Phono-Viewer door CBS Toys onder de merknaam "Child Guidance". Dit apparaat, dat drastisch werd herontworpen ten opzichte van de eerdere versie, had slechts twee snelheden (33 ⅓ en 45 toeren), en kon geen volledige LP's afspelen. De Phono-Viewer kon dan weer wel het beeld op een extern scherm of muur projecteren. (nl)
