Thanks for the response! But yeah, I figured there wasn't really anything I could do. I have looked on craigslist already, but even so, used tables are still a couple hundred bucks or more. And I'm a little weary of buying used electronics. I'm pretty set on getting something new. I've been doing my research (a lot of it) and will make a decision once I find out exactly how much I'm getting back. I spent probably 6 hours just yesterday reading through a few forums. This thread is by far the best resource. I couldn't find any other forum with or a thread with budget recommendations. I'm looking at any of the <$400s. I'm not an audiophile, so I'm not looking to get the highest of the hifi or anything, but I definitely want a TT that actually works lol. Also, is SRC Vinyl a good site to buy from? I see the ads on here, so I was just curious. I really want that Walk Hard soundtrack, it's one of my favorite movies.

Hi guys, New turntable owner here. I got a Innovative Technologies 6 in 1 entertainment center for my birthday a few days ago. I've already done the research and read the forums and know that what I have is crap and I shouldn't use it to play anything. I don't plan on returning it because it was a gift from my mom, plus it looks nice and the bluetooth connectivity is really handy. Not surprisingly, I'm having some issues with it. Skipping, sliding, not spinning fast enough (only on 45 rpm though...), etc. I've already gone out to the local record store and bought about $100 of records, some new, some used. I absolutely plan on getting an actual turntable that's not crap, but I won't have $300-400 to spend until I get my tax return. So, for the time being, is there ANYTHING I can do with my current turntable to help with these issues? There's no weight adjustment and no anti-skate. I already know not to put a penny on the tone arm because I'm not trying to destroy my records. I just really would like to enjoy the few records I have until I can get something better. Thanks for any suggestions!
