I have a few records, and wanted to see if I really dig listening to vinyl.
But I didn't want to spend too much, or get a current cheap one.

So I got a old jc penney record player, 20 bucks. It works ok, going to take it apart and clean it a bit, already lubed the knobs and there's allot less cackling when I turn the volume knob.

I figure if I like this still months from now, maybe I'll get one new for $100 ish.

People elsewhere are trashing me.

Buying a cheap one when you're not sure it's something you'll want to use long term sounds perfectly reasonable.

It's probably a terrible record player and is going to do heavy damage to your records

Only dumb if you think so. $20 is nothing, if you are enjoying it then screw the haters and have fun.

Among other things, those kinds of players almost never have a way to change tracking force, and cause waaaaaaay more wear and distortion to your record than a good table would
