has anyone got...

[goone]

one of those little battery operated VW vans that
you sit on a record and it drives around it

it has a stylus underneath and a little speaker
they rule

bring your records camping!

[wheezer]

they also fuck up your records rather nicely

[goone]

surely you could claim compensation for that

i dont have one
i wanted one , im not so sure now tho'

[bracket]

They are quite pricey if i remember correctly....

[wheezer]

I haven't done any actual tests to back this up, but it's what I've heard... for doing one-time listens at the local swapmeet or what have you this'd still be brilliant

they are available from www.htfr.co.uk

they only play at 45rpm and they destroy vinyl, better off with a handy deck from vestax or that thing of beauty that wheezer got a while back.
