In the case of the record players what they should have said is that the
talkingbook player's needle could harm the record because the tone arm is so
heavy.

I would imagine that if you speak with someone from a library, they're
naturally gonna tell you that you can't play anything on these players but
books; it's like (in the old days)..folks would sometimes say you weren't
supposed to play anything but talking book records on the old talking book
players! I've never really heard a definitive answer for that one; all I
know is: people used to do it all the time (played their records on the
talking book machines)..now it might be a thing where..the needles were
bigger..and the grooves in the old talking book records were bigger; I
don't know for sure..but oh yeah..playing record albums on talking book
machines was a practice that people did a lot! But I'm fairly certain
that..if one had talked with their librarian..I'm sure they would have said
"Oh no; you're not supposed to play records on these machines!"
