Didn't RCA come out with a record-player about 1948 that used
an electric-eye mechanism instead of a needle?  According to an
ad I've got here, the record changer was called "Magic Brain"
and featured a "Jewel-Lite Scanner" -- "Entirely eliminates use
of needles."  "Magic Tone Cell -- No Needles to Change --
Records Last Indefinitely."  Does anyone remember this or know
how it worked?  It must have been a total failure.
