Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

As is usual with most items on Amazon, as soon as negative reviews creep up, the item is reposted and the score is somewhat "reset". Wish Amazon would fix this, but hey, they're making money so they obviously don't care. Record players are not usually made for travel use (or cheap for this case) because of the heft the arm a record player requires in order to have sufficient and tune-able weight on a record. This is important because if enough weight is not placed on the arm, then you get skipping. What can you do? You can ghetto rig it by taping a penny or quarter at the top of the tip and see if this rectifies it. If it fixes it, then it means you have a cheap record player. AKA A Victrola record player. Don't get this. Just get a real one. This might be worth it when it drops to $20, but not any more than that.
