      Even better when there's a power cut :heehee: and the sound may be better than these tiny speakers which are hard for people to hear

        Wow!!..is it a real wind up one @shiney ?
        I was just about to post that my Dad has an old (ish) record player and then I noticed the handle!!
        It's a lovely looking piece.:blue thumb:

        I have loads of singles and albums on vinyl, but nothing to play them on so they are lovingly stashed away in a cupboard upstairs for safe keeping.....not too sure that our boys will really be that interested in inheriting them though....along with everything else we have squirreled away...especially in the loft....no let's not even go there!!!:yikes::heehee:

          @Upsydaisy yes it's a wind up! :loll: :lunapic 130165696578242 5:

          Actually, we used to have one like it but it was much nicer. The cupboard was 4ft high with black lacquered Japanese scenes all over it. You opened the top two doors for more volume (speakers inside) and stored the records on the lower cupboard.

          I still have a lot of 78's (and 80's) and loads of 45's. I have a fairly modern small unit that has a radio, a turntable that will play all size of record, a CD player, twin tapes and an MP3 slot so you can copy anything that you play on it. :dbgrtmb:

            Please send any spare positive vibes this way to my lovely older sister. She is at the hospital now as I post this for a 4hour app...they suspect the big C might have returned. She had a very gruelling time of it back in 2013 and 14, and also had to have two lots of surgery last year ( unrelated). She always keeps smiling, and is truly inspirational...so hope all her tests today are negative.

                    Just got back home...still no news, either my sister or niece will let me know the results when they are able and ready to.

                    The weather is absolutely dismal out there today ,the wind is howling around the house again and we got soaked when we were out in town this morning.:sad:
