What is it about these things that they are only produced in Japan? I
just want to get the cheapest plastic preview device i can for shopping
purposes. I don't need style or sound quality... I would definitely like
to put $150 to better use than a plastic turntable!!! No cheaper
domestic stuff? Any lines on some anarchist cookbook style recipe to
make your own out of duct tape and thriftstore stuff?
Thats a great link though, thanks erik.

Thats probably the V96 they also make the infamous Vinyl Killer, and I
do
have one--also got one for my Brother for Christmas. Unfortuanly you
need
a level place and it can only play 33 1/3 records, but, it is still a
blast. I ordered them direct from Vacuum Records in Japan
(http://www.osk.3web.ne.jp/~vacuum05/head.html) they also sell the V96
which is the battery powered turntable that does play 45s. They were
cheaper when I bought them in December (took less than a week to come),
but, now that the Yen has been getting stronger than the Dollar the've
gone
up in price by a couple of dollars, but, that probably won't hinder
them.
Pro Sound & Stage Light has the other portables from Paco (DJ mixer
(GMX-3
01) & Turntable (GP-3R 01)), there was a JockeySlut article a while back
of
some Japanese DJs who took that setup to the streets of London until
they
got hired for a gig in a club. Dusty Groove also sold Vinyl Killers,
but,
must have gone out of stock.
