How to REALLY play a record without electricity.

Ok, back a good while ago, I made a video demonstrating how to play a record with no electricity http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRMDaOBxUXk . Quite a few of you challenged and questioned me about playing a record without electricity where technically electricity was used to spin the turntable. Well fair enough, it does use some electricity to some extent so I have remade the video which only runs on hand power. You can use this to listen to music during a power cut or in a remote forest.

Shame that you cannot play a CD or mp3 without electicity. So much for modern technology lol.

@AppleOranges12 You could use this method instead of buying a Gramophone...

i wish i knew where to get awesome records offline so i could do this to them

Mentira, se nota que en el minuto 1 echó a correr un 78 en una victrola que no se ve en el video y de ahí sacó el sonido. Lo malo de este video es que muchas personas rayarán discos que tienen más de 60 años de antiguedad como mínimo y eso sí que es una pérdida.

just stabilize it all and hook it up to a hamster wheel, good to go

[badreality2]

That looks sooo unstable.

i think someone with rhythm should be turning the record though!

[DzangoStinson]

WHAT KIND OF SORCERY IS THIS?!

[poleeed]

i did it and it didnt ruin any of the records i have. you gotta get the speed just right for it to work

[ExcessiveSpareTime]

It'd be fun to play anti-records in this method.

@mg426426426 I totally agree, you will destroy your record like that! and shellac records are rare
