For those of us who still love our vinyl records....

Let Alice explain this new portable record player.

I had one very much like this but with much better sound back in the sixties, and it was a big hit when I was assigned to a job in the Arctic for a while....

I have to wonder, though, what you get for "around a hundred dollars". The needle cartridge on my present turntable was $75.00 plus tax, and a good turntable these days can easily run to a couple of thousand. However, experts tell us that the sound quality from vinyl records is superior to that of CDs or DVDs because there's more space for the grooves in a vinyl record, and it's all in those grooves, or it should be.
