Ok GFY, go look in your attics...
 

I need a record player. Nothing fabulous, just a no frills record player. Anything circa 70's/80's will do just fine as long as it works. Spare needles would be great. It's for a nostalgia gift thing I am putting together for my dad. Looking to spend like $30-$50 on it tops. Looked on ebay but all I found was like DJ shit. Any help?

Techinics SL-1200 is what your dad needs. :)

Yeah, he's been working on mixing and scratching with his old Merle Haggard and Roy Clark albums. I'll look into it. :winkwink:

They sell a radio at Wal-Mart with a record player, CD player, and radio all in one. I'm not sure of the price, but it does have a record player on the top. It has a wooden look to it, not sure if it will be available at every Wal-Mart, but it is in the $30-$50 price range.

Good luck.

Thanks, I'll check their site out.

Was it high School High where John Lovitz gave the DJ a copy of Rhinestone Cowboy and he did that?

Funny shit. :1orglaugh

lol...I thought of the exact same thing. :1orglaugh

"Like a rhi...like a rhi...like a rhinestone cowboy..."

all i use is technics - have had multiple 1200s and i dont scratch.

technics is a superior vinyl player and i would trust nothing else.

and i collect Otis Redding albums, not rap.

I bet you could find one at a Goodwill or other thrift type store for alot less than $50...:pimp

ebay/craigslist/newspaper classifieds/yard sales must be loaded with shit like that.

They are but most are a bit out of the price range I am willing to spend on my old man. I like him like $40 worth. I don't like him $100. :upsidedow

bump for you! ;)
