[Hidden-tech] 1987 Fisher Price record player

[Michael Muller]

I'm guessing it's the motor. Probably the oil is very old, or something 
along those lines. Doesn't seem worth fixing, if you can get another one 
for under $40(look to the "similar items" section below the item you 
linked to), which is less than what you'd have to pay to have it repaired.

You can pay to have the records digitized, but there is definitely 
something magical about putting a needle down on a spinning disc and 
getting music.
