Drop a turntable needle on a record! For Christmas my daughter gave her mother a combo turntable/CD/radio player. My daughter couldn't figure out how to work the turntable so I had to show her. She said she never has had to use one - she's 21 - so she was at a loss but she was good with the CD player. I kind of felt a bit old because of course I remember records and turntables from my younger days (I had a Technics turntable, IIRC). Time marches on, I guess!
Abbey Road, side 2 is playing as I write this, in all its glory, as it was meant to be played! The Beatles were f-ing brilliant, weren't they?!

| | | Is it a Crosley system? I have one at my apartment, and it's a fun little unit. Unfortunately, you need to crank the volume a little to get a good sound from vinyl, which is not conducive to living in an apartment. I'm going to be living with my dad for a couple of weeks before shipping off to an internship out of state, so I'm looking forward to playing vinyl at the optimal volume during that time.

Nice little system, with good sound. You're right, we had to crank up the volume a bit when playing a record, but we did anyways back in the day, eh?

They've been packed up for over 20 years now, hopefully they're still in good shape. I can't even remember what albums we have, so I hope there will be some surprises there!
