Who gets to use your Turntable?

Of course not. I am more concerned about my records than the needle, I have an inexpensive Goldring 1042 cartridge. Not that anyone ever asked for that, by the way.

you are all crazy. What's the big deal??? Anyone can learn in 30 seconds to handle the needle. It must be a pain to be around you...

You have no idea concerning how painful it is to be around me and I don't leave any witnesses to testify about the pain level.

LOL!  I am with you @parkergetdean.  My grandmother's pride and joy was a very valuable, even back in the day, stand-up, wind-up Victrola.  It is now in a museum.  Anyway, when I was so little I had to stand on a chair to reach inside to put on a record.  She taught me how.  I had full access.  She had a large collection of hot jazz.  All 78 shellac of course.  It's where I got my start.  Now it is my grand kids.  Yes they can, and do.  A great joy to me is to be a fly on the wall while my son sits with them playing an old favorite from his childhood...Louis Armstrong.  I like to think my grandmother is looking down on this scene and tapping her foot with a smile.  It is not too late gentlemen.  Think about it.

Very few people who… are still …. Alive
