I got this old classic record player from an estate sale of old timer who had dozens of old record players. It does NOT have a needle, so I could not verify that it plays the records. However, when I plugged it in and hit the switch, the turntable started right up, and the automated arm moved faithfully from its perch to the record album. I will pack it carefully and securely.
