Such a cool piece of furniture, but I shudder at the thought of putting any of my records on a table like that. Those old brute force players grind records and put so much wear and tear on the grooves. Depending on the cartridge that thing probably tracks at 5 or 6 grams.

Oh..I know--you could almost feel the vinyl shearing off as the record played...not to mention the "clunk" when the record fell from the stack onto the turntable if you were playing several albums.

The Raisins were popular enough to have their own videogame (granted so did the 7up Dots, and Dominos Yo-Noid)
