This may be like the sale of ‘57 Chevy and ‘65 Mustang parts. The new buyers may have vintage jukeboxes, or just collect 45’s the same way some people collect first issue stamps.

What the hell are they PLAYING them on? I have a turntable only to put old vinyl in to my computer, but are there really that many old systems left out there?

You can still buy turntables. I have seen them in Best Buy and Circuit City.

Give me a laser stylus that doesn’t wear out the record surface - oh and make it under $100 - and I’ll buy records again.

My brother, who we now affectionately call "Uncle Fancy", had the
finest ride in Roslindale ... a 1965 Ford Fairlaine XL convertable, .. dark green with a lot of just right chrome and a black interior.
I have no idea where it came from, but he had a 45 player installed under the dash.
The records could stack 8 or 10 on a spindle that would drop one at a time .. the arm swung in and rode the groove, lifted, moved away, and the next would drop.
I was a kid then of maybe 16 years, and though he rarely let us 'twerps' ride in his car ... when we did ... MAN! .. that was MY BROTHER!
That was just the start of him becoming uncle Fancy .. he's had the coolest stuff first, since way back when.

Me too, but 60 is a little young. Mine is almost that old.

Heck, I listened to music this weekend on MWT, Sr.’s reel-to-reel player.
Wondeful audio.

An optical mouse is basically a camera-light system that rapidly takes tiny pictures of the size of the area of the optical window underneath the mouse, hundreds to thousands of times each second, to detect motion. I guess the same system could be tweaked to optically read records.
Did I just give out a patent-worthy idea? :^)

Whaling songs, bagpipe music, ancient folk songs...the stuff I like is NEVER going to be mass market enought to come out on CD. ;) I’ve turned a lot of scratchy old vinyl into less scratchy MP3’s!
