With all the fancy digital stuff available the top sellers on Amazon were film and record players.

Somehow I'm not completely surprised.
Before Xmas I was at The Source (Canadian equivalent of Radio Shack) and there was a lady who called inquiring if they still had any turquoise Instax Mini!
I never thought I'd hear a clerk answer the phone asking about an instant camera.

I know that in just about every electronics store flyer there were turntables. I'm pretty sure they weren't as good as my Pioneer but still, they were record players (and some of them looked pretty darn cute in their carrying cases).

Let's hope that many of these customers move on to aquire better quality record players than the "cheap record player from Jensen".

At least it's a step in the right direction. 
I wouldn't want to play one of these concrete records on a nice turntable:

I can only imagine how fast you would destroy needles.
