Wow!! I Found Something AMAZING On eBay...

hi danishcanadian wow that was a find. something you really enjoyed and a person with a great voice and the album of geat italian songs and an autograph too. I am glad your husband got the winning bid on that what a nice Christmas you shall have, now just to get your record player fixed and you are all set. I am sure you will find the parts 'some where. search the net first.

That's pretty cool, my parents still have their record collection and it's great to hear that people are still buying the format. It makes a very special present! For me it's like getting retro games, so I can really relate to this. I couldn't see the image anywhere though, is it in your profile Danishcanadian? Congrats on the gift, does your husband know what you've got him yet? Happy mylotting, ~Joey

That is an awesome find and I'm so happy for you! Sometimes I think that if you know what you're getting for Christmas, it takes the fun out of it but this story of yours shows that it's just the opposite. I can see you being so very anxious for Christmas to come because you'll get that record you want so much. It's a shame that you won't be able to play the record, though. Maybe your husband can find the parts needed to fix the record player before Christmas? I wouldn't know where to start looking for parts like that unless you could find someone who buys/sells old record players. I would think they'd have a ready supply of old parts from the ones that couldn't be fixed. A few years ago, I bought one of those record players that is also a CD player and cassette tape player. It's one of those things where you can record one from the other. I actually wanted it to turn all of my sister's vinyl records into CDs for her because she was in a nursing home with only a CD player, not a record player. The price of those things has come WAY down from where they started. I got mine on sale for $150.00 but I've seen them now for $99.00 and under. Hmmm, now that I'm thinking about it, how about looking on Ebay for old record players? From what I've heard, you can get just about anything you could possibly want on Ebay.

Forgot to load the image, and one can't post a response to their own discussion unless commenting on another response, so Leah asked me (her husband) to log in and post the picture. Here it is! :)
