Anyways, I'm a fan of Craigslist. And I recently decided it was time for me to purchase a real turntable for my vinyl records. I say real because I wanted something that sounded the way vinyl records are supposed to sound. Not an overpriced plastic reproduction of the old record players. So I started looking. And I fell in love with the old stereo consoles that contained turntables. I found one on Craigslist for $150 that I fell in love with. The seller agreed to sell it to me for $75 cash and a $50 credit in my Etsy store (wooohoooo, even better than just a deal is a barter deal!!).... I went and listened to it, and she agreed to order the needle it was missing before I completed my purchase. Well she changed her mind after the needle came in :-( Note to self, buy it before they realize how awesome it is and change their minds. Sigh.
Well I found another one. This was much cheaper ($40). The seller claimed all it needs is a new cord. The piece of furniture itself is beautiful so I figured if nothing else it will suffice as a buffet until I fix or get a better one. This could be a bit more of a restoration project than I anticipated... because, ya know, I don't have enough going on... ha.ha.
Here's a few Instagram pics of it, I will post more detail as I start the process of getting this baby playing again so I can listen to the new Ben Harper/Charlie Musselwhite album on it. Seriously, go it now, it's awesome.
