Yep! Let's give him some laughs as if he has anything useful/productive to say about vinyl.

Maybe you meant "we would"?

He gets a little. . . uh. . . emotional sometimes! ;-)
A feature lacking on many 'tables at 100 or even 1,000 times the price! Remember, dust never sleeps!
I had some Westinghouse portable that was so bad, it changed the color of the vinyl as the "stylus" swept through the grooves.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
This Steelman is what I had, just a different color (gray with red):

My first LP was a promotional copy of MY FAIR LADY which I must have played hundreds of times on the Steelman:

It is still playable as the microgroove stylus tracks in a different part of the groove than the railroad spike used in the Steelman. The Magic Marker number "1" is the first LP that I ever owned; I did this numbering for awhile but stopped for some reason; the marker dried up and I could not afford another one? Anyway, I wish that I had continued the numbering to this day.
Dad knew one of the bigwigs at WCBM in Baltimore, they did not play this type of music very much and he gave this duplicate record to Dad to give to me. I must have been the only twelve-year old who knew all of the songs and could sing-along with most of them. It is still one of my favorite recordings and now I do have better copies, both mono and stereo but my holy grail is to get another factory-sealed original (1959 or so) mono promotional copy.

I got a Steelman suitcase portable for Christmas when in the 8th grade, It had a BSR changer and AM radio. After several years I tried to upgrade it by wiring an external 10" driver to replace the meager 3" built in. Within a year that crapped out. but I didn't know if because of a mis-match or a tube simply failed.

"In short, you can purchase this record with no fear of its becoming obsolete in the future." Columbia record jacket - 1959.
I had a Penncrest portable that was a awesome tracker if you taped a nickel to the head shell.
Only one record I had from that era has survived in my collection to this day. Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant", and it definitely exhibits signs of the abuse suffered at the hands of that eater, but it still plays.
Well. . . until I learned better! ;-)
They were all too damaged to play. Ended up replacing many of the LPs I bought back then.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
Please buy one and let us know.
. . . one of these days!
My first thought was "what?" Then I opened your post...

shouldn't that have Disney kids characters on it or some such thing?
Though with licensing it would likely drive the price up.

Movies, merchandise, theme parks. . . all kind of tanking at present.
And more wow....
There is a built-in spring inside the turntable, which can effectively prevent the speakers from beeping and protect the turntable.
So that's why my system sounds like crap. It's the speakers beeping!!

And he's way beyond me in what he's doing. But I've generally found his articles very useful in getting things straight on this aspect of audio.
His room is interesting. I wonder what it sounds like. Does he use bass traps?
