Whether or not a table has those two things is literally the basic "Is it shit?" test, the other problems all-in-one turntables are plagued with just make it more shit.

It was probably shit then, too. The "retro" styled turntables of the fifties and on are hard on records as well. Generally, the 80's are when basic turntables were at their best value, not that shit wasn't made then as well.
Anyways, what's everybody spinning in preparation for the Christmas Crosleyposting? Don't have a pic besides an old one of my 1219, but I've got some Joe Jackson on.
