  advertised as fully automatic and is not fully automatic. does not repeat automaticlly to play record over and over. does not play more than one 45 record at a time there for you have to do it manually. so advertising it as fully automatic is a false advertisment. player ok if you have nothing better to do to change 45 records every 3 min.

  Biggest problem is that there is no way to connect a ground wire between the turntable and the ground screw of the amp. If you have a ground loop that’s buzzing, you have to take the turntable apart and find a place to connect a ground wire to it. Bad design. Also, even though there is a speed control and strobe built in, I can’t get the platter to go slow enough to zero out the strobe. AMAZING! I wish I hadn’t sold my old Radio Shack turntable 10 years ago.

  I like this record player, it is everything i needed. I have a good sound system, i just needed a turntable to listen to vinyl. Perfect

  I’ve owned this turntable for 13 years now (for any of you New Englanders, I know this because I bought it at Lechmere at their liquidation sale in 1997). I used it initially with a high-priced Denon rack system of the same vintage which crapped out about five years ago. It sat on the shelf for awhile until I got the equipment to record, and ostensibly, play, vinyl through the PC, and it’s been back in service for the past couple of years.

  I’m glad they’re still making this model, and if it lasts like mine has, why wouldn’t they? The features are exactly as advertised, and the only thing I wish it did is play the few 78s that I’ve accumulated from my Grandparents. Highly recommended, to do better you’d have to spend at least twice the money.

  Easy to setup, and VERY easy to use (just press “play”). I’m sure there are better players out there for audiophiles (I don’t consider myself one) but for an entry level turntable for someone just getting started into vinyl (like myself) I believe this player works just fine. I haven’t had any issues with the needle skipping or jumping around but you definitely need to make sure your records are clean before playing because the needle will pick up the dust on the record and pop and crackle. It seems to play both 120g and 180g records with no issues.
