Re: [ARSCLIST] Vinyl Killer Record Playing VW Van

[steven austin <stevena@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm nearly speechless.

I also like that the tech specs include nothing at all about the quality
of the reproduction, but I guess that's setting aside all the fun.

So many questions. I wonder if the stylus pressure is measured in
ounces? And does it have two styli, one to play and one to keep the van
"on track"? Do we think they'll build a disc cleaner into the next
version?

The price speaks volumes about the decline of civilization.

Any other examples come to mind, of a player for a stationary record?

This is a bit of Friday afternoon hilarity that perhaps some of you
have already encountered, or already own:

VINYL KILLER RECORD PLAYING VW VAN

I don't think the manufacturer realizes that including "Killer" in the
name might turn off most vinyl collectors.  It's a shame it won't play
45s or 78s.  I like that the Technical Specifications include "Not a
Toy."


Cheers,
