I have a Crosby turntable that does the same, but have never made any CDs out of my records.

My Pioneer turntable lasted me 30 years. It was not a direct drive either. That rubber band held forever.

My Disc Cleaner on the other hand; thank God for the internet or I would have never known how to make record cleaner.

Somewhere in this house, I have several of these, from the 80s.

:D

I also have two ION turntables that automatically convert LPs to digital.

You can find them, weirdly enough, on clearance at BedBathAndBeyond, sometimes.
