Victrola Vintage 3-Speed Bluetooth Portable Suitcase Record Player

My father always had a record player. I remember we would gather and listen to his songs, and it made for a great time. I've known for some time that record players had made a comeback, so I decided to partake in the festivities. It's been a decent one overall, but I've learned with this record player that you get what you pay for. The packaging was great, so no damage to the contents when it arrived. It took me a while to unbox it, but it was a great experience, overall. Unfortunately, the spinning portion where the records are placed is not CLOSE to being level, which means that my records are on an emotional up-and-down journey when they circle back around. The worst part is that certain songs on the records skip. ALL OF THEM! ... well, I only have two! LOL! XD But they're brand new records... one I sent back and purchased another... still skips. I'm not interested in purchasing a higher quality needle, but I did purchase a weight to see if it'll help. I'll try it out at another time. One should've been included, in my opinion. The cost is really smart for a beginner. I love the suitcase-style design, man. Super modern. I've not tried the Bluetooth function yet; I just sit and let the records play when I'm in the mood. The sound quality isn't the greatest, but hey, the speakers are super tiny and not built for that. I'm sure I could hook it up to my mixer and get a much better sound quality, if only the records (brand-new records, if I didn't mention it before) didn't skip... sigh =( Nostalgic satisfaction met vs poor build quality... 3 out of 5 stars. I've learned a lot more than I thought I would with this record player. Man, they've got so many different color options and things... I guess it's a good product, or even a gift, for someone that doesn't own a lot of records or know what they're doing. You speak to a true enthusiast about this product, they'd walk away from you unless you put in more effort into getting a much better one (which I'm sure is available). I hope this helps you in making your purchase. I believe that a customer always deserves to be satisfied, and in this case, I'm just alright. It's tough out here for a lot of people, man. That said, subpar products are unacceptable. The seller has no idea how their patrons have come to earn the funds they're now using to support their company, but hey, wishful thinking. I still plan on whipping it out and listening to my records... skips and all. Take care and enjoy! (= Z.
