As someone who grew up in the ‘90s, I knew Motorola as a mobile phone company (later making radio chips). It’s really cool to see what they were making in a past life.

Fun fact! Motorola is called that because they made car radios.
The Victor company produced the wildly popular Victrola line of phonographs, which later began to incorporate radio receivers as well. The "-ola" suffix was so synonymous with audio that radios for cars became "motorolas"

I saw the records and a broken player in the garage.
it’s a shame it didn’t work. I would have loved to see it working.
