Big Bird Record Player - Battery Powered!

This is an awesome little find from RetroThing: a Fisher-Price battery-powered, Sesame-street themed record player. The little bird on the tone arm appears to play with his beak, a'la Flintstones. The parts are remiscent of the standard Fisher-Price record player of the time; I can't remember if it was battery-powered, too. I've got one of the standard FP players (amongst others) -- RetroThing recommends using it as a 'tester', when out and about buying record albums. Good thinking!
