Is it a toy or a valuable tool? Both! And a pretty good sounding turntable at that. Enjoy!

Old vid but i would have done a piano wire spring and set it in the plastic. Keeps the hold and doesn't degrade as foam do . But cool anyways reminds me of dad talking about 1960s car record player he had back then
Would mounting vertical cause the bearing to wear out unevenly? I mean lp heavier tha blurays and bigger diameter.
Hi there, Fran. I to own this exact same record player. Though because we here in North America cannot use the same power adaptor that the player came with from Japan/China, might you with your extensive background & knowledge on the subject be able to tell me what type of adaptor (watts/voltage wise) this Canadian would have to purchase in order to get this player up & running?
I had a red white and blue one that was the coolest.
I don’t think there’s such a thing as a mono speaker
I have a question , I think you might be the person to ask. I have one of these that is tracking at almost 6 grams which freaks me out.
I only play 45's on it , but of course do not want to damage them.
Do you think there might be a clever way to lessen the tracking force?
ASMR for geeks
I think that the felt on the battery tray lid is to prevent the plastic from vibrating when sound is applied to the speaker
I saw one of those back in 1969 on my 6th grader year. The girl who owned it played a 45 with the song Aquarius by The Fifth Dimensions. This was a classic turn table playing a classic song. The sound is great. Thanks. Fran for this video on a classic portable record player.
I'm a Record collector, this is awesome ♥
I ordered mine 5/18 and it arrived yesterday 5/30. I bought a step down transformer to convert 120v to 100v and it's working great. I'll be taking it to work and hanging it on the wall.
I'm a collector, this will be a great tool when I go bin diving.
Reminds me of those FisherPrice turntables you could buy back in the 90's.
I wouldn't use that weight tone arm on an expensive vinyl LP, cutie. Irreparable groove wear will result! – John
