hobohunter48 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I was helping a friend pick out a record player at our local Goodwill and sitting beside them was a little Sesame Street portable record player. It was 50% off so I figured what the hell and bought it for $3. It works great and actually has better sound than I thought it would have. Plays both 7" and LPs.

Guest Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 awesome. I have no clue this even existed. If I had children I'd get them started early on this. not that you're planning on actually using this as a functional player... but I bet it's only a matter of time before someone comes in here and says something about how the needle is shitty and will ruin your records.

bluedeni Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Had one when I was a kid. Totally forgot about this. Gotta be on the lookout now for one for my son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Avatar Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Maybe you can buy a proper cartridge so it doesn't ruin the records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 This morning my two year old came running into my room yelling "DaDa! DaDA! RECORDS! DANCE! DANCE!" He grabbed my hand and proceeded to get me out of bed. We danced to some Japandroids and Pietasters. He's been into the garage stuff lately. Pretty awesome morning. He has one of those Fisher Price record players as well. That Mulberry Bush song is my jam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseydave77 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 It was a great morning and we can all use that feeling. Good news is we start a few mornings like it. I swear he got his love of dancing from Yo Gabba Gabba. I'm burned out on it but the kid loves to laugh bad dance so I can live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobohunter48 Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 I've seen the Mickey Mouse ones but never this! Rad find! Thanks! I'm planning on buying cheap records at Goodwill and such that I don't care about to listen to on this thing, also how are you guys so certain it's a bad needle? inb4 because it's a children's toy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll also point to my stuff and ask for a "re-kerd". We listended to Dinosaur Jr. tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We listended to Dinosaur Jr. tonight. Nice. My son is way into the Andrew WK "Party Hard" lp and we woke up today to dance to it at his request. Really needed that as my cousins kid passed yesterday - heartbreak is a poor word for the yearning to take their pain away. I've never been ashamed to tell my kid openly that I love him and am proud of him but that dance meant more today than it did yesterday. Maybe this is the wrong thread but I like this one. sjb2k1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steventangent Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I had one of these growing up. And a bunch of storybooks that had 7" with them, so you could read along and hear sound effects and stuff. You'd get a few minutes of a Star Wars story, then it would say, "Please turn the record over," and you'd hear the thrilling conclusion. I also had Gremlins, Sesame Street, and the Wuzzles, whatever the fuck those are. Any of you guys with kids that want to start your kids out right, you can get a metric fucktonne of these cheap on ebay, if you search "read along books and records." give your kids the joy of hearing outdated stories from 30 year old IPs on outdated technology!

I've got a batman storybook with a 7" and a robin hood one as well. These were awesome when I was a kid. I actually have a bunch of my kid records like grim storytales, dr.

icecream Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I've given up on goodwill. maybe when I move to columbus i'll have a greater chance of finding cool stuff. they sell stuff online now so i'm guessing thats why there isn't much of anything even remotely pleasing to find anymore at least around here. I remember about a year ago I saw this guy with an armful of resident evil longbox ps1 games,silent hill,final fantasy,ect some asshat who didn't look like a gamer call it vanity but my hatred ran very deep for that man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
