I got rid of a 36 inch Sony right before I got out of the service. It was 212 pounds. My buddy and I cussed that thing the whole way.

I drug my 36" TV up the stairs to my apartment by myself. The whole time I was imagining people saying "He should have gotten someone to help him" at my funeral when I was found at the bottom of the stairs under a huge broken TV.

I had that or a 32" Sony Trinitron and it was heavy as fuck, hated having to move that thing.

The family has been having a lot of fun with this (and some expansions).

A friend of mine sent up a giant track throughout his entire garage workshop. The cars you could completely customize - motors, suspension, tires, etc. Thought I was really going to get into it until I tried it and flew off at every turn - I could never master throttling down in time. Everyone else always had a blast. One of those analog setups was his gateway drug, soon you'll have to switch to digital to add lane changes and multiple cars in each slot.

The slower cars are kind of easier. They can still boost fast, but they also slow down much faster, so its easier to slow down before turns.

Snagged me a couple WH40K action figures. Dreadnaught is pretty nice!

Never been toy jealous before but holy fuck that Dreadnaught is awesome. The terminators are badass too.

Ordered an entry level turn table. Wife has been wanting vinyl and I want to see if the sound is worth it.

Now I have to wonder what my old Yamaha record player is worth. I still have it, because I still have all my albums and I told myself I'd play them sometime. I think that was over 30 years ago.

Yeah my In-Laws bought my wife a record player for Xmas one year, and gave her some records. They are somewhere around here collecting dust. Every year I ask is it the year we throw it all out yet.

I've still got my old technics record player. It's dope. Can still find styluses for it. I play vinyl pretty often. My kids got hooked. They all have their own record players and records. Love it.

This is what I've got. This isn't my pic, but it's the same one.

Let me know what records you have and what player if you are looking to get rid of it.

Also got my turntable today. Very happy with the sound for an entry level turntable. Rumors sounded fucking amazing.

Only really started collecting vinyls since the ex had gotten a record player and there were a lot of records I found that I really loved the artwork on. Ex took the player, though, so I'll eventually have to get a new one. Was nice to set it up on the porch and just play some music while sitting outside.

This is actually the exact one I bought. It sounds pretty good for entry level and it's automatic. So easy as can be.

Koushirou Koushirou about the artwork, I was saying the exact same thing to some friends last night while we were breaking in the new player with Pearl Jams Ten and Fleetwood Mac's Rumors. Even if you don't think the sound is better from vinyl, the art and what you get is so much better.

I have the same one, it's entry level but is incredibly easy to operate and have had great fun collecting a bunch of old records with the kids. What speakers are you pairing with? I got the below and they've been pretty decent so far. Makes for a fairly inexpensive little shelf system:

I actually looked at those but I already have Kanto YU6. Which is what I was going to hook it up to originally but ended up hooking it up to my Sony AVR and Klipsch Reference Premiere speakers. So right now it's going through my my old RP-260F and the Klipsch surround speakers if I set it to 5 channel.

If I get a nice bonus this year I'm probably going to upgrade to some Heresy IVs or maybe even Forté IVs. I have about half a dozen on my list I'm considering.
