You don't know the half of it. I own 2 old Webcors, and I've got a lifetime of experience with consoles, "portables", and all other non-component-grade "phonographs".
They'll rip your vinyl to shreds. Instant, and progressive, irreverable groove damage.
I've still got some records left from long ago that were damaged by this lo-fi console crap. Think about it: these tone arms had no counterweight. The full poundage of the heavy, steel tone arm, and the nail-like cartridge were brought to bear upon soft, vinyl grooves. It's insane.
