Linos is a portable record player
but I think it’s sadly a design concept only
too bad cos it looks awesome and very seems to be very practical

- Ditching the traditional full platter configuration for modern sensibilities, this player takes into consideration the space demands and limited mobility of regular turntables. Simply load the record to the lower spindle element and lock it into place from above. Pushing down on the power icon then releases the tonearm and spins up the record. Hook up the player to your comp via micro USB for sound and powering or use the USB power adapter with standard stereo jack output. -

we say, yes
what do you say?

more info an be found on the Concerto for Turntables’ page

what would you do with a broken turntable?
recycling it as a wall clock is a good idea

we are speechless
one of the most important piece of dj history caught on archive film

Yepp, Barky is a turntable. Made by Audiowood . They are building custom turntables and doing other audio-related woodwork. It’s a simple table made from a raw-edged wood round. Rega RB251 arm, Premotec motor, and upgraded glass platter. Poly-sealed and paste waxed. WANT!

This came from the pages of a 50’s magazine called "Practical Television". The idea is simple; drop this gimmick over the spindle of your turntable, and you’ve converted your record player into a reel to reel deck.

dogs are smart
they can learn a lotta things
like skratching and beatboxing
who needs bones and balls anyway
