It would be fun to do that someday...maybe I will when I get another one. For now, though, I am enjoying the fuzzy scratchiness of the original. There were several on Craigslist. Maybe they have some in your area?

You know, my grandma had one of these, too, but I don't know where it is anymore. Probably my aunt has it. I had one years ago, also...I picked it up at a thrift for 10 bucks to go in my first apartment. It was great! Somehow we didn't have the room for it later on. I played my mom's Carol King and Beatles records on it. I really missed the sound. I think another thing I like about records is that you have to consciously think about what you want to play...not like queuing up a giant mp3 playlist and letting it go to subconsciously notice in the background. I actually have to get my lazy ass up and change the record.
