Recently got my old hi-fi back from my young cousin, turntable,Yeah! Was right down to me mams to get (whats left of) my old vinyls! When was the last time you turned a record over or put it to the right speed 33/45rpm
Stick yer cd's and digi d/loads, vinyl forever!
Got an old 80s Technics turntable.Effin great sound on it.Gave Ceremony 7' a couple of spins recent. Positively thumping out the speakers it was. Remarkable sound for a 7' inch on an old turntable

Theres one on ebay at the mo for £62...
I can see a rather fat mouse lurking just beside that record turntable of yours...... can you see it? IN the second picture - just to the right hand side..... It's very eerie....
The one shop in town that i could buy replacement stylus' from has recently closed down which is slight cause for concern.

No problem,I got one online last year for a turntable which is 20 years old,get a mouse trap while your at it..:)

a mouse yer say, By Eck?
Yeah Johnny - there - look! .... can't you see it? It's just adjacent to the pick up arm.... it looks positively bloated....almost ectoplasmic too. My god, you've got a turntable that could be haunted by the restless spirit of a greedy Mus musculus!!
I've done a screen grab of the pic that you uploaded and I've heightened the contrast through image preview, then also cut a close up enlargement of the pic....and you can quite clearly see the head of a fat white and grey mouse squatting underneath the pick up arm....!!
Here:
Do you - or did you once - have a mouse as a pet Johnny?
I still buy some new 12" vinyl singles online. The last two being Pendulum's Watercolour and The Island. Would love to see a vinyl comeback, but I guess that most of the producers/remixers out there today don't have too much imagination...
Scary indeed Mr Johnny.
You need to get that turntable exorcised otherwise every single record you will play will have helium-squeaky vocals that sound like something from a kiddies TV show......

Answers:
About 3p more.
Yes, Factory do this all the time. They even mispress their cassettes to play at the wrong speed too. My version of PC&L (Tape) sounds like it's revolving at 35rpm. And my version of From The Hip by Section 25 sounds like it's at 32rpm.

I bought a Steepletone CD/USB/Vinyl system a couple of years ago, it even has an SD-card slot in it for fook sake! I thought great bit of kit that, when I started using it I realised its awful.
Poorly built, every 7" skips towards the end, the arm doesn't lift itself off the run-out groove and the sound quality is crap. And it fries USB sticks like chips.
Avoid Steepletone!!
Looking for a good system now! Then I will start playing vinyl more!

Did it also have a small ectoplasmic mouse lurking underneath the pick up arm as Johnny's did??
