This Teeny Tiny Turntable plays 2½-inch "records"

It isn’t a Vwestlife video without taking it apart and giving a direct hookup!

TL;DR: This is a music greeting card with 3 """songs""".

It would be a neat accessory for a Barbie dollhouse but I can't imagine spending money on this for any other reason.

"Classic" rock sounds like an intro to an 80s sitcom.

The radio stations from the 50s used 16" records, sounds like hold music on the telephone.

That "Rock" record has some notes that remind me of some of Boston's "More Than A Feeling."

The "classic rock" disc sounds a lot more like 90's radio friendly rock than anything

You're like the lockpickinglawyer of vintage technology but have longer videos which is awesome. I noticed your electronic repair / analysis skills have grown over the years since I started watching you years ago as well! Your videos are getting more and more technical which is fantastic and deserve praise.

That thing is basically a modern-day "HitClips"

I suppose it would provide 30seconds of entertainment to someone out there

Well, I need to say with the direct audio hookup this sounds much better. Almost as good as telephone music-on-hold.

lol, that would actually be a fun little toy for a kid. It's easy to say "those are junk and sound awful" as an adult, but a kid would think it's really cool. The direct hookup also sounds a lot like internet radio 20 years ago! except it's not stopping to buffer every 5 seconds.

Loved your thorough analysis! I don't know why, but I expected an actual fully functional player for a solid minute was going to be veeery impressed for 12 bucks 😂 It'd make for a great stocking stuffer for a child to give them a way to learn about record players on the cheap, or even as a paperweight/bit of desk decor.

This is one of those devices where one can't help but wonder: "Why is this a thing?"

"Classic Rock" ouch man..

I dug mine out and it DID come with three different records. The one you are missing IS 7mm, BUT it only has ONE magnet on it rather than two like the other discs!

I had to down-sample my personal Mp3s to about 56Kbps to make it sounds as bad as these. Honestly, it's impressive what you have to do to make an Mp3 sound bad as opposed to just sounding "not as good."

That jazz tune, at least after the intro part, sounds a lot like the old blues turned jazz tune “St. James Infirmary Blues". It originally was an American blues song of uncertain origin that later became a popular jazz tune starting with Louis Armstrong who made the song famous on a 1928 Jazz recording. Because the tune is in the public domain that probably why it was chosen. The original version has lyrics though it also has been recorded as an instrumental by many Jazz artists too. As for the Rock and Funk, they sound like some sound-a-like bands ideas generic Funk and Rock sounds that pass for genres but won’t trigger any copyright lawsuit. Perfect for when you need a cheap to license generic funk or rock tune (or something sounding “close-enough”) without having to license a known bands music.

I'm just waiting for techmoan to import one of these... Actually, now that I have watched the video he probably won't as the product itself isn't that interesting.

I just picked this up at a local Stationary store. Thx U for the video demo. It helped.
