I have a vintage record player downstairs (well my parents do) and I wanted to learn how to scratch and dj and such using it. I know that whatever records I use will get damaged, I'm ok with that
But, will it damage the record player itself by doing this?
Oh ok, so could I temporarily (without extensive knowledge about record players) switch in a non damaging needle? Or would that take a lot of equipment to do?

Vintage is just so much better. Who sells vintage record players in Los Angeles?

My vintage record player sounds funny, like it is warped. It plays normal-slow-normal-slow. If I can find someone to repair it will it be expensive? and can it even be repaired? I really miss listening to my old records.

I just bought a portable vintage record player from an antique dealer and it doesn't have a needle. I'm having a hard time finding a similar model online. It's a Zenith, and I think the model is a ZP2. I really don't know much about record players, and I think I may need a cartridge as well.
It says the model is a "ZP2"

This is a bit embarrassing, please bear with me because I know nothing about this stuff. I want to buy an old vintage record player and a bunch of records, but I'm looking on ebay and it states whether the records are 33 or 45 or 78 RPM. I have no idea what this means, and how do I know which are compatible with a record player? Are they all compatible? Is one of the RPM better than another? Please help me out, thanks!!

My hobby is collecting vintage record players and 45's

I have a child's vintage record player that needs a needle for it. How do I find the type I would need so I can purchase one. There are no serial numbers.
thank you

Ok, so I really want a vintage record player, and I;ve been looking on eBay for some. I know NOTHING about them. How come some records are big and some are small? Do all records play on all record players?
I want to know everything. I need a hobby, and this seems cool. I want to collect records. Tell me everything.

I really want to get a vintage record player and start looking for some records to go with it. Where would be a good place to start and some basic things to know about maintenance and records?

so basically the story was like this i was a friend of mine and like i had to stay out coz they were recording a session and i see this young kid DJ-ing on this record player look like one of the FISHER PRICE VINTAGE RECORD PLAYER 'VINYL'

but his wasnt like the fisher price one it was like an old school seasme street ones this young kid had it with a cookie monster which was pretty sick.

so yeah heres my question

will the fisher price #825 record player play vinyl records like DJ's do 12'inch vinly records.

thanks for answering looking forward.

should I get a vintage record player or a new one? and how much will a solid record player run me?
