Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The product shows very nicely in the photograph, but looks rather cheap in person: the horn is very light and flimsy, the handle on the crank is the shoddiest plastic, covered in seams, the fixture holding the horn rattles loosely and there is no way of tightening it. No "step-by-step instructions" were included, so I figured it out myself, but luckily it wasn't complicated. I did feel a sense of ill-boding when I read "Will play your 78 records! WARNING: Not intended to play records. For decorative purposes only," on the description here on Amazon, and rightly so: though it can theoretically play records, you should do so only with the intent to destroy the record. The rotating table on mine is uneven so that the needle digs into some sides of the record and hovers above the opposite side, and as the soundbox is both loose an heavy, the whole setup is practically designed to gouge the record; furthermore, even when fully cranked, it lacks the power to turn the record beneath the weight of the soundbox.
So, all in all, a flop as a record player, and leaving much to be desired aesthetically. It would best be used for a theatrical prop, as it looks great from a distance.
