A 45 record adapter. How about a blast from the past...let's revisit some commonplace things that we don't see or use too much anymore.

Very cool Carol,great job.:)

Great idea!

Thanks for your entry!

Another great idea! Cool puzzle

This looks just like the real thing, except green instead of yellow. Excellent!

thx for entry, ditto jewel

I had a massive 45 collection and the adapters came i all colors and they looked just like your image Carol.

Thanks everybody! I too remember having yellow adapters Jewel but you are right Nancy, they did come in other colors and other shapes too. After creating the puzzle I started to wonder why there was a big hole in 45 records. According to following article on the history of the record-making industry, it was all to do with competition between Columbia and RCA. Figures!

It's either funny or sad how early into solving I recognized what this would be. Good and interesting idea for a theme.

Oh yeah, I remember those things. Cool puzzle, Carol.

I even had a metal thingie once for my 45's
