It was a simple thing to lighten up the tone arm
with adjustment of the spring. the old tube machines were used for many
unauthorized uses.

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!"
