I forgot to mention , It does play 'fast'. i already know this. Im sure it always has, as again....this is about as cheap a record player that one could buy. This was for a kid who had two records, and said he wanted one, but was probably just gonna shove it under his bed. My mom, who lives in anothe rstate, found this at either a garage sale or flea market, took a risk and bought it and mailed it to me. When she told me, I thought that was a recipe for disaster, as most I find need work of SOME kid. But leave it to mom, who knows nothing about them, to find a working player on her first try. The body is made of flimsy cardboard type material with a cheap wrap, that if wet, Absorbs water bad (I sprayed it down to clean it and the whole lid changed color as it absorbed and swelled) No clue what make it is or year, Just a generic "JC Penney" type player I assume. I chose "Rage in the Cage" by J. Geils Band, because I had this record as a kid, aa similar small-speaker portable like this, and I played that record a million times. It was bought for the A-side, :Centerfold", but I much preferred this track. Anyway, It was a freebie gift from Mom, and all things considered, Its not a bad find. If not for playing a tad fast, which I could alter if I took it apart, It really operates about as good as it did new....which is to say, Cheap, but effective.
