    Off topic, but as a person who fixes old turntables. That looks like a plastic piece of shit that needs to go in the garbage.

      They’re good as a cheap shellac record player, just need to get a 3mil stylus. The old phonographs that played them sucked too.

      I had to laugh at this. I do a lot of hobby electronics repair and yeah, these pieces of dog shit are all over our local “collector” “vintage” and “retro” boards. Yeah imma give you $80 for your Sears cardboard box that’s also water stained, and even when it was new had incorrect and also non-adjustable platter speed /s

      🥺🥺🥺

      My printer broke again this week, needs a replacement part worth $2 but shipping is $9.

      I just bought some spare parts, so now I need to wait for this to be able to print anything.

    I was born with a different configuration that is unsupported.
    Good times.

    There are open source efforts to fix and workaround issues but they don’t help much with integration.

    Your local Tool and Die shop does. In fact they love this kind of shit. Making 1-off parts that are no longer manufactured. It’s not the lions share of their business. But it’s part of it. Hit em up.

    Had one of these. Used it all of 2 times before moving. Next time I tried to fire it up, nothing but an occasional clicking sound
