Bosun11 537 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Well feck me, we had one when I was younger.... Shite! The thing wouldn't play your record if it even had the slightest scratch. That graphic equalizer just about done feck all for the sound and if anyone put a foot down too heavy anywhere near it, it'd bounce your vinal all over the shop. My bro had it in his room for a few years after I'd moved on and got shut when he couldn't get a replacement needle. Thanks for posting that, brings back some happy memorys.
