I've been wanting a turntable for ages, and I have records that need one, but I never knew what to look for exactly, there were always more pressing things to spend my money on, blah, blah. Today, however, one found me. Earlier Martin and I were in some out-of-the-way thrift store, not looking for anything in particular, and there it was. I'd already noticed that we were in a particularly cheap thrift store (shirts were 35¢), but that didn't prepare me for the pricetag dangling from the turntable: $2.00. (And Martin thought his $7.00 turntable was a good deal.) I'm not sure I'm getting off so cheap, though, since of course this means I'm going to have to buy more records.
