Before I left for India several months ago, a close friend of mine was giving away his 50’s era Motorola turntable/radio since they were moving to North Carolina. Being the vinyl junkie that I have become, I gladly accepted it though the turntable wasn’t working at the time. Very soon afterwards, I hauled the piece of furniture (ultimately what it is) to South Carolina where other close friends who own a repair shop agreed to check it out. $200 later, I have a beautiful sounding piece of furniture. I broke out a bunch of old records this afternoon while I was working. In the recent years, I have been buying the vast majority of records on vinyl if available and going back and finding the old classics as well.
