"...have to wait for the platter to come up to speed before the tone arm descends...." What?! A 'Jetson' version of a Flintstone player? And it's How Much?!
My first thought (I do think, contrary to what some may think....or think they do...or...oh, forget it....) was it has to effect the cart...any cart.
Even the old Rabco ST-4 I bought ages ago just for grins works better, mechanical racket and all...
...and it's still amusing to pick the entire arm up off of a record in mixed company if I get tired of waiting for the lift to engage.*L*
I can buy a lot of other things for as much, or less...even Lots of Things.
As for the 'free-spinning' BlewToothed ....looks like a old handset from a telephone....a 'hard-wired' one.....I thought the VW van version was a lot more funny...use one to play old 'bubble-gum' groups only, tho'...
Someone....Somewhere....at a house party, will push that maglev platter sideways while it's playing.....
The 'wow' will Stop Everything Dead....and then, the 'pusher'.
It's likely already has occurred....*sheesh*
