I have a copy of that issue and other issues which had Apollo and Surveyor articles.  The record is bound between pages 750 and 751.  Unfortunately, I no longer have anything that will play it.  It looks like a groove width typical of 33 1/3 LP records but there is no indication on the label of the speed.  I would not want to pull the record out anyway as that would destroy the collector's value if any.


I have a feeling that record would be worth more out than in the magazine....as Nat Geo's generally have very little collectible value in and of themselves, since there are so many of them out there. That's a tip from my days working in a used book store...albeit it an eon or two ago.
