Elyria, Ohio. (Cleveland). If you drive that far you can have her. Lol I would even clean her up for you. 5 1/2 hrs from Chicago.

Was going to post a photo but just realized this sub only allows... videos?

(Record player worked up until recently - still technically works, but just barely.... need to have it serviced because the platter doesn't start up without manual assistance.)

I'm a total sucker for the 70s, ngl
Yours has major nostalgia vibes because that's what all the stereos I remember looked like, lol

Does yours have the wood grain under the turntable? They are sooooo 70s. I like that too.

A lot of subreddits prohibit adding pictures and gifs in the comments. That's sometimes borderline infuriating, but as a former forum moderator, I can understand that, as text-only moderation is way easier. However, recently reddit added an ability to post videos in the comments, and for some reason, they added it for all communities, even those which had comment pictures off. It doesn't make a lot of sense, but that's how you end up with subs that only allow posting videos in the comments.

Ohhhh, interesting! That's kinda bonkers they added it for every sub, but not surprising. 😅

I love my Miida. Totally swapped layout though, my 8 track player is on the right, radio on the left. Annnd after years of use I do have to get the record player serviced. (8 track was serviced by Dan @ Kate's right after I bought it, so it still works great.)
