• A record player was discovered in the Swan, along with a library of LP records and other 70's paraphernalia, such as a lava lamp and computer hardware of that era.
  • At least two record players in the Swan have been depicted, one with a silver colored front facade, and the other with a taller wooden one (see continuity errors).
    • The silver unit is a Technics Quartz D.D. Automatic Turntable SL-Q3.
    • The wood paneled unit may be a Dual 1229 (Google Images)
    • The cartridge used in these props appears to be a Shure M 44-7 or older identical model. It is unknown if these turntable units actually are fully functional.
