Pretty affordable, but not sure whether it's great for vinyl.
Stereo inbuilt speakers
And Radio.
At worst, a really cool radio! And it just happens to also play vinyl records?

Sure it does, just in it's own Aus Post sorta way?
Lol - thanks for posting, ill grab one!
No problem!
@[Deactivated]: This actually normal price. Way Back Machine shows it was on special for $49 in March.
Built in speakers too?
Sounds like a bargain to me. I can't get a smashed avocado and toast for $59 delivered nowadays.
I sure think so!
I bought one for on the back deck. I'm sure it'll prove to be one of my finest Ozbargain purchases.
Thanks, new to the community so that means a lot. Let me know how it goes?
Buy one for the front deck and garage too!
I'm interested to know what the sound quality is too.
@Ham Dragon: Static and distortion gives an authentic vinyl sound, brought to you by your audiophile Postmaster at Australia Post
AM/FM Radio too!
Cassette tape?
I don't think so, but for $59 dollars and free delivery. Not a bad deal
8 track?
I think there's a 13.3 percent cash back on over $75?
So about 10 dollars added on if you wanted to buy something else?
Now I can actually go out to a few op shops and buy some 78s. Haha
Haha for sure, grab a heap of old vinyls with the savings!
It will be like $0.50 each..
Sure, but again. Just go to your local opshop
Any bargain?
@HolyCr4p: Personally I haven't bought any yet, but everywhere I've been there's 80s music for pretty cheap maybe 2 dollars each
wouldnt play a vinyl worth $20 on this.
I think it's a good deal though
How much is rrp?
Not sure, but for similar they are about 80 to 100
I am not asking similar. How much does aust post sells this one? Normal price isnt it
@WatchNerd: Thanks @WatchNerd
Everyday price is not bargain. It was cheaper in march as per watchnerd
Half decent turntables are much more expensive, I'd personally save my money and wait for a deal on audio technica AT-LP60 or the 120 model.
These all in one units are often pretty craptastic. You'd most likely need a decent pair of speakers to go along with them.
Agreed, but yeah idk it'd be great for a party or a bedroom prop or something.
this would be great to play all your tay-tay records on… and all your other LP's that you don't care for their longevity!
It's all good man, we just don't think it's financially responsible to drop 2k into something right away?
all good bro - personally i rock a vintage pioneer turntable from 1978, cost me $100 on gumtree - if you have some kind of amp/stereo already you may find a decent deck is not as out of reach as you may think!
Nice! Im still looking into it. And I do have an amp. So thanks for the feedback. Have a great day bro.
@[Deactivated]: NW mate…the old Japanese models from the late 70's/early 80's era actually hold their value too, so if you want to resell down the track you wont lose - this thomson unit, to be blunt, is landfill in waiting - and will bring your LP's on it's coat tails!
@QuickToThePointless: Wow really, hobbies holding value! Great. Where do I buy one? @pointless martyr

Good for DJ to make scratchy sound from spinning record
One day I played Black Sabbath at 78 speed
Seve… Uh.. and then what happened?
I SAW GOD
You. Saw. God. Well that sounds like true enlightenment to me.
Looking at the first picture this thing is so small the records don’t fit inside the cover
Yep would rather buy something 2nd hand on Gumtree from 20 or 30 years ago. It will be full size & possibly made in Japan.
Vinyl. lol

Point made.
I really don’t recommend anyone buy this. Spend a little extra time and money finding something that won’t destroy your records and that will sound great. I mean, do what you want, but I can’t not say something when things like this get posted.
It's still a good deal though, nonetheless for the price.
Don't actually use this for any records worth listening to
Does it give out a warm sound to bring back memories of grandpa's gramophone?
