I'd recommend you read up a more about vinyl - you really aren't treating a very dangerous material seriously enough.

Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places.I just bought a radio flyer wagon and brought it back after it arrived being made out of cheap plastic and very thin wood. I enjoyed storytelling with my LEGOs much more, my creations were just bare bones scaffoldings for the flesh my imagination would put around it. Toys should have educational as well as entertainment value; this is because playfulness in young mammals (including humans) is a preparation for adulthood.

Just some kind of sense of mastery that I couldn't communicate, but made me feel more confident about my understanding of the world. The wind-up still turns the disc manually, but all it does is tell the speaker to play while turning. He's not putting the records on himself just yet of course, but it's nice to have some technology where the physical aspect is so prominent — records have two sides, you have to manually place the needle and stop the turntable after listening, and records hold a specific album.Turning it on it's side, upside down, trying to peek at the teeth on the head and manually play individual notes.

I spent a great deal of effort teaching this painful lesson to anyone I could trick into learning it. It is a very clean copy just like you described, and I am extremely happy to now own a first edition copy in such wonderful condition! And I think this really represents a fundamental change in a lot of aspects of life: there’s a specific way to interact with things, prescribed by the maker. I have a music box that uses a paper tape, it was an extra as I was making a gift for a family member and Thinkgeek (long before the Gamestop acquisition) accidentally sent me two. Since it required no batteries it was always working, even when you found it at the bottom of toy bin after months/years.I just wanted to say that I am very disappointed with the “Classic” FP Record Player that my parents bought my son for his birthday. Our two (now three) year old daughter can now play with the record player as her mum did – very cute. I, too, was disgusted that it took batteries but you still had to wind the knob, but I was even more offended by the awful staticky sound from the tiny speaker. I'm part of that group (I ever regretted breaking my beloved mitsu diamondtron[0]) but still the mainstream is massively about digital purity, beyond biological retina sampling and displaying .
