One of the things you run across as a geeky thrift store / swap meet record collector is millions of 7" records. During the height of my collecting in the late 90's I picked up dozens of cheap 45s ( and 7" 33s as well ) not always for the records themselves, but tor the great adapters stuck in the middle of these swell slabs of wax.
Above is a small cross section of some of these engineering marvels from my collection.
Check out this skookum article for an overview of the history of these adapters....
