RokBlok Bluetooth LP player

[Otokichi]

So you found granpa's stash of old LPs but you don't have a record player to hear, say, Alice Cooper's "Welcome To My Nightmare"? Fear not, there's a piece of wood that can play LPs AND uses Bluetooth speakers! I recall that there was a "VW Bus" LP player that had a built-in speaker to play, say, The Fugs' "It Crawled Into My Hand, Honest," as it whipped around the disk at road runner speed. So, should you get one for an LP collector? Not if you want to make a lifetime enemy out of the LP fancier. This was a "Shark Tank" contest winner's $500,000 gift to an unsuspecting world, which doesn't say much for "entrepreneur TV" (I've never watched the show myself, preferring "Moonshiners," instead, since the "boondocks distillers" have practical skills.;)

 

Late news: Techmoan got some flak on YouTube about "playing at the wrong speed." So he dug out his "house LP players" to show how strange the RokBlok sounds next to "the real thing."

Then he took it apart to see if something was wrong with it...

$500,000 dollars don't buy much these days, does it?
