Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was SO disappointed when I finally got the player out of the box! I still have the one my children used when they were little. (They are 42 and 38). All my grandkids have enjoyed playing with it when they come over. I thought it would be fun to get one for my grandson for his first birthday but what a let down. the "on/off" button which the child used to slide right or left to turn on or off is FAKE. My grandson became so frustrated when he couldn't move it. Have you noticed how intuitive kids are with buttons - they love to operate them but this one does nothing! The sound is terrible. It's lightweight doesn't feel as durable. No grooves in the records (it's digital but doesn't have the same fun feel). The record arm is difficult to operate. The knob to wind up is impossible for a child to operate. I am certain this won't last 4 years let alone 40. Then again, maybe because I doubt he'll enjoy playing with it. Too bad I destroyed the box trying to remove it. Otherwise I would have returned it. Here's a tip - if you are going for nostalgic try not compromising on quality!
