WAIT -- SAVE THOSE VINYL RECORDS
A new laser turntable reads vinyl recordings. And since there is no needle -- there is no wear and tear. "Damaged needles will destroy a record on the first play. The LT beams can be set to play the top part of the groove that was not touched by the needle. Also the small laser beam never reads the bottom of the groove where most grime and hardened 'crud' may have collected for years." The version which plays 45's, 78's & any size LP is a mere $19,000! I'm sure the price will drop once they get it into mass production. ;-) (via)
