My parents had a lacquered cherry console. It played stereo records but FM stereo had just been approved by FCC so the tuner did mono only. This "stereo" got used mostly for musicals and "Singalong With Mitch Miller". I recall a TV singalong with Mitch show too but memory may be faulty.My record player was a little suitcase like box with a flip top and did all the speeds. Most of my records were 45s or 7" 78s. A lot of the 78s were short stories on the Golden label(Golden Books) and were a bright yellow color...cute.
And there were indeed plenty of stereo 45s but these came out well after 62. The first ones I recall were on the Beatles' "Apple" label around 1969. Stereo 45s are still around but they're 12", frequently one-sided and contain approved music only.
