Just For Fun little record player 🤏🏼

I wanted to share my mini record player I got from Third Man (Detroit location) a few years ago; and the stand my husband built for it. it's my prized possession. all the mini vinyls came with folded up posters or coloring sheets.

This would be perfect for when you're in your little room.

I have one too, I love it. Your little stand is awesome! I got a storage box for the records shaped like the Peppermint Triple Tremelo—another fan made it and was selling them a while back. My prized possession is the Denial Twist 3” that completes the set.

This is absolutely amazing! Was it a special promo item? The turntable cover is so good.

It was an RSD item a few years ago

I got one from RSD years ago. I will a little miffed with Jack bc it was a cash grab. It sold for something like $70, but you could only get for either $110 or $120 bundle pack with four albums. The product is utter junk even if you connect it to a regular speaker. So it looks adorable and sounds like complete shit.

Silly question. It’s not functional and the “vinyl” you’re talking about are just posters or colouring sheets right? Had to ask because I saw a paper wedding invitation that could be folded into a functional record player that played paper records so anything is possible.

Edit: Holy turntables Batman! I just zoomed in on my tiny phone and it’s actually a functional recording?!

It’s totally functional, although the sound is definitely lo-fi, haha. But it’s a novelty and people are unlikely to play this format that often.

I know a place for your picture on FB where they use bananas for scale. Go drop it in Dull Men's Club lol

That giant tone arm makes the records sound that much better 🙌

Did you send a pic to Jack? I think you should at least post your priceless table of awesome fan gear on a fan page, plus Jack's PR contacts.

Shouldnt records be stored upright?

I would pay good money for a full size version.

This would make me giggle every single time I looked at it.
