I bought one of these a few years ago at a flea market brand new in the box for a buck! They had 3 CASES of them. I played with it 4 awhile & stuck it on Ebay & it brought $150.00!!! WTF? WHAT is everyone's fascination with these stupid things? Naturally, I went back to the flea market & the guy said someone rushed in & bought ALL he had left for 50 bucks! I bet HE made a killing! Unbelieveable how much people pay for these stupid things!! BTW they DON'T hurt the records u play with them!
The wheels only affect the very top of the record, they probably don't get into the groove. The problem is the huge forces the stylus puts on the groove. There has to be quite a lot of stylus force to keep the killer on track.
Furthermore, there could be a lot of pressure on the outer groove wall because the whole car has to be pushed inwards.
Proper record players have very low stylus force and good arm bearings so the forces on the groove will be minimal.
Poorly designed record players gradually wear out your records. You may not notice the wear when playing with a vinyl killer or any other 'cheap' record player, but when the records are played on a nice record player (with adjustable tracking force and anti skating) you'll notice the record sounds distorted - more noticeable near the end of the record.
If your records are already worn, go for it. If your records are in good condition, please don't. That would be a total waste.
@lionelnut69 Ummm...mid-80's. So, yea they've got vinyl of them. Plus, they have vinyl for just about every band you can think of. Did you think they just stopped making records? Come on, now. You obviously haven't been to a CD store in years.
Yeah man vinyl is still being made big time, its mostly metal bands now though. But yeah pretty much half the cds I buy new have a vinyl floating around.
@CassetteRookie it's a little record player, Instead of spinning your record, it coasts on the surface of the vinyl, gliding the needle over and into the grooves, churning out music from its own built-in speaker
I wish they made these at decent prices! The only ones I find new are $100! And no I found these by being a vinyl junkie.
