It sounds like some sort of steampunked device that has been invested to cope with the needs of just one person.
However, this is a serious piece of equipment that could change the lives of a lot of people that have large collections of LP’s and cassettes. However, are worried to listen to them just in case anything happens to them and they are gone forever.
Features – More than just a recorder, the system plays 33s, 45s, 78s, and cassettes through a 70mm full-range speaker, and has a built-in AM/FM stereo with digital tuner and single CD playback tray, all in a footprint less than 2′ sq. Two RCA inputs in the rear enable you to connect the device to another stereo system or external speakers. Includes automatic/manual track, increment control, record-level indicator, record-level control, backlit LCD, and remote control that requires two AA batteries. Needle plays LPs for up to 50 hours before requiring replacement. Plugs into AC. 9″ H x 19″ W x 15″ D. (23 lbs.) Priced at $399.95
