This cheap, flimsy-looking record player surprisingly works well. And it plays all 33 1/3, 45 and 78 rpm. And it has built-in speakers.
I’ve been looking for a record player for quite a while now. I didn’t want to spend too much on it because I don’t have many records. And I didn’t want to get a turntable because then I would need to get speakers.

Wow, that buzzcocks lp was one hell of a find. Argh I can’t decide what player to get… I’ll probably never get around to finding one! Yours sounds rad though.
