They offered both the music-box model and the actual record player model back in the '70s. Source: I was there, and had both of them. I still have the actual record player, and a VERY beat up copy of "Mickey Mouse Disco"

I must've been 12 or so before my parents would let me even touch the record player on their stereo. Not without reason, to be sure: the stereo's 8-track player had been irretrievably broken before I was born when one of my siblings decided that it looked hungry and fed it a peanut butter sandwich.
