I bought a record player at the Salvation Army a few weeks ago for $5 but it didn’t have a needle so i wasn’t able to get it to work. I returned it and recently purchased another for $10. This one had a needle and played records but the counterbalance to the needle arm had been broken off so the needle housing scraped on the record as it spun - destroying the sound quality. So i built a new counterbalance…
It is a little crude but works quite well. The Salvation Army currently has a nice 8-track recorder/player there now but i don’t have any 8 tracks. I don’t have many records either but i did score Def Leppard’s Pyromania album and the soundtrack to Flashdance for ten cents each. I have quite a few others also but they really will only be kept for ripping samples from.
