Sound Burger

Thanks for this video mat, I really enjoyed it! I don't remember this from my youth, but I do remember a red colored device, "swallowing" 7 inch records. Internet search come up with the Penny 7" player, but I'm not sure this was it. Now I remember why I thought front-loading CD-ROM players in iMacs where cool. BTW: enjoy your well deserved holiday.

Which is another interesting point... they could have used an entry-level cartridge like an AT-91, AT-3600, AT-95 etc. which would still beat the one on the Skywin-based turntables given that they're proper MM cartridges. But they did in fact use the higher quality cartridge body which probably means you could fit something like an AT-440 or AT540VM replacement needle which has a nude diamond stylus with a microline shape... which would be crazy for a machine like this :-) I have no need for one of these machines nor would I play my records on one, but I am impressed by the quality of this gadget. Techmoan - buying obscure and interesting things so we don't have to :-)
