I picked up the Numark PT-01 Portable Turntable instead and it works great. After just two weeks of light use, it completely stopped working and I returned it to amazon. I bought this turntable specifically to play old 78's, but at that high speed, the turntable seemed to shake. Plus, the tonearm is cheap plastic. It doesn't look retro, but it plays records great, which is the most important thing anyway.
The overall sound is tinny and a poor representation of vinyl's potential. I had motor problems not long after I received it; it kept stopping in the middle of a song, sometimes with enough force to send the stylus scratching across the record surface. This turntable is certainly one that looks good if you're going for that retro look, but it's sound quality is almost unacceptable. I don't know if the motor was overheating or what, but it was unacceptable, and it certainly is not good for the records. I would recommend spending a few more bucks and going with a lower-end Technics or Rega instead of this, if you're looking for good quality sound. It's nice that it can play 78's, as I've inherited some of my grandmothers old 78's, but for anything else, it's not worth it. If not, and retro looks are all you really want out of this turntable, this is the turntable for you.
We had to sew a bag which attaches to the carrying handle in order to keep the cord with the product. Unfortunately, the cord and adapter do not fit inside. This item is a wonderful machine for educational programs. It has settings for all three speeds. Seems kind of labor intensive for something we paid so much money for.
it's not top quality, but i wasn't expecting that.it works well.the tone knob is key, use it to get better sounds.yup, i like it.if you want a cool looking, but totally not authentic BUT USEABLE record player, this is an OK choice.Im not disappointed.
Horrible sound, crooked tonearm, cheap vinyl cover, etc. Nothing like the quality of older record players like the Webcor. Please save your money and do not buy this record player. Not worth half the money. Forget the older look and buy a quality Numark PT01. I tried one at Rite Aid and brought it back. You will be happy you did.
