The actual reason I'd personally avoid automatic tables is that more parts and more mechanisms just mean there's more poo poo that can break. And do automatic turntables have a manual cueing lever? That would be a major sticking point for me.

Anyone got a VinylEngine account and can download & make available to me the owners & service manuals for Onkyo CP-1010a and CP-1100a? At this point it's been like ... years? since registration was open so I doubt there's any realistic hope of ever registering an account so I can do this myself.

All the mass pressings for this album from what I've heard have been a horror show. Maybe the limited pressing will allow for better QC / hot new stamper?

I'mma gamble on it.

It's kind of sad that porn being so ubiquitous and easy to access has completely removed the enthusiastic sleazy humor that characterized it in the 1970s. They don't even have the silly titles anymore. Even the parody films are just called stuff like Not the Avengers XXX.

One of the earliest of these I remember from the back room at the local video store when I was 14 or whatever in 1996 was a Pulp Fiction parody called Pussy Friction

I've never been able to find an image of that cover art online :(

That's not as good as if they'd gone with something like "Pump Friction" or "Pulp Fucktion".

Can confirm, everything rings up $15 regardless of original price. Surprisingly decent amount of stuff still in stock, assumed flippers would have cleaned it out, but saw copies of newer releases from Kendrick Lamar, Taylor Swift and Beyonce still on shelves.

There are better Walmarts in your areas I guess because I was on one about a week ago and glanced at the section of LPs and it was dire. I wasn't expecting to find anything that crazy but holy poo poo was it a pile of garbage even by non-music store record selection standards.

I just thought you were talking poo poo about the actual album. At this point in time we don't need a reissue of any classic rock album ever again and to no one's shock I don't think any new LP ought to cost more than 15-20 at absolute most. Especially loving Rumours. How many goddamn copies of that thing need to exist? Is there any person on earth who wants it and doesn't already have it and if anyone else does want it, holy poo poo there are millions and millions of copies in circulation. Why do they keep reissuing this album in particular?

I'd rather see a million copies of Rumours than however many (half a million?) of Adele's 30 that will be forever sitting on shelves unsold.

It seems to be limited to "Wal-Mart exclusives" and even then only about 90% of them. Hot Rocks for $15 is a steal, Robin Trower's new record is up there as well.

Oh wow, new Robin Trower. Man they are old. I have most of their records, they were one of the best Hendrix-styled bar bands of their time.

Must be location dependent. I just went to my local Walmart. I couldn't find the records, so I found an employee and asked if they had vinyl records. He said, "Um, I think we have records, but I don't know if they're vinyl. If we have them, they'd be on aisle 4." I found them, and it was a strange collection. It was like a mix of Merle Haggard, Machine Gun Kelly, and Peanuts Christmas. They did have a special gold vinyl edition of the first Third Eye Blind record which I would have been happy to grab for $15, but nothing was on sale, and that was selling for $40.

I picked up the Arctic Monkeys latest album, Use Your Illusion II, and the 2lp Creedence Chronicles greatest hits.

Each of them were $15, and I don't think they were all Walmart Exclusives. There was a signed taped up saying "All vinyl $15". I'm gonna hit up the other Walmart in town today to see if they have Use Your Illusion 1.

Dead...for now
My father in law gave me his record player from the 70s. It's a Philips 312. He tells me the only bad part on it is the stylus. I was able to disconnect it from the 4 wires behind it but with some googling I can't seem to find a replacement. All I come up with its a small plastic piece with the needle, but I assume I need the whole assembly.

I don't know too much about this other than what I can find on YouTube, sorry for my ignorance.
