BUTWAITTHERE'SMORE!!!

Booyah! Tricked you. This blog is just chock full of surprisy goodness. I had you all going thinking I was just going to post a regular old coffee table and I bust out with a freaking record player!!!

Item for real.. sorry guys-- I won't lie again: General Electric RC 4851 A.

Can't find out any information about this model anywhere

Unfortunately, this thing start buzzing or humming VERY loudly soon after powering it up. Maybe somebody knows what I need to replace (I've heard some stuff about electrolytic capacitor replacement but I don't know enough about electronics to even begin to venture down that road). The seller told us they had a guy who knows how to fix them or what to get to fix it so we've been trying to get that information.

Anyway, this thing is really cool because every time we have a guest I can go, "hey, check out our regular old coffee table" and BAM I make a fool of them and spin out the turntable and start jumping around and flowing to the beat about how I tricked them. It's not going to be as lame as it sounds.

Okay... it will.
