It’s amazing how many people still have old vinyl records and what is even more surprising is the fact that a lot of the collectors have no record player to put them on or won’t play them in case they are damaged.
So these records stay in their sleeves gathering dust, but it doesn’t have to be that way and this digital music convertor is the device that can help. Simply place the record on the turntable and play it, from here you can connect to a laptop or iPod and record these old favourites.
Features – The belt-driven turntable has an automatic-return tone arm with cue lever and a diamond stylus that faithfully reproduces sound through integrated 8-watt stereo speakers. Its sturdy wood cabinet has a carrying handle and removable lid and is protected by black vinyl skin and composite corner covers. It plays 33, 45 or 78-rpm records, has an auxiliary jack for connecting an iPod, and a tone dial control. Includes USB cable and recording software (works with Windows XP/Vista/7 or Mac) for breaking albums into individual tracks and removing scratches, hisses, and pops. Plugs into AC. 17″ W x 7″ H x 12″ D. (12 lbs.) Priced at $149.95
