"A pretty good shot of the 7th Street control room, circa 1968. I have no idea who the young lady is, but I think I DO recognize the cart deck, as I'm pretty sure it was donated to KABF here in Little Rock back in 1984, which means I used it many times over the course of about a decade."
Someone mentioned this would possibly be in the early '70s, due to the 12-button phone- prior to '69, they were 10-button phones, that the # and * buttons were added after '69....
I have been told by some other KAAY folks that they often invited listeners and fans to have their pictures taken at the board, etc. in the station...hence, the unknown name of this beautiful lady...
Thanks, Barry! Keep up the good work!

In 1968, there were 4 individual Spotmaster cart machines. The 5-spot didn't show up until 1971 or so. Also, the little metal box to the left of the card file on top of the Collins was "warning" lights from the carts. That wasn't there until at least 1972.
