Thrift Store Gem of the day!
I just went to a thrift store that I frequent often and made an excellent purchase. It's a Coumbia small portable turntable Model 412. It plays 78, 45, 33 speeds with a built in 45 adapter. It was marked 40 but showed them that the speaker wasn't working (knowing it works fine) and got it for 20. All I had to do was reconnect the needle to the wires and it works fine. I opened it up and was lookin' at it's guts and realized it's tube driven. The needle on it is perfect so now I've got a turntable for work! Damn, I'm stoked!
