In the absence of any other indication, it was the only way you knew it was warmed up and ready to go.
the Dansette popular, you switched it on via the volume control and waited until you heard the hum in the speaker................. likewise if you didnt want to scuff your valuable LP you switched it off and repeated te process for the next record. The stress on the heaters and capacitors must have been immense.
