I gotta ask... As a radio/tv collector, the idea of saving one of these combo units is very appealing. I would hate to see one end up in a landfill.
As a record collector, however, the thought of playing a vintage vinyl with one of the primitive changers that these units seem to use makes me want to loose my lunch.
So what does one do... substitute a decent turntable for the old "gouge-o-matic"... or perhaps, only play old scratched up G-sale records. Or perhaps, just not use the unit to play records at all, and/or hide a CD/DVD player in the cabinet somewhere? None of these options are very appealing... other options?
