I have Victrola's "The Empire" (6-in-1) vinyl record-player.

And I have old vinyls from the 1960s and 1970s and they work well, all things considered, though they've been scratched and have lots of dust on them.

I used a tool-kit to clean the dust as much as I can, but it can only go so far.

And there are clearly marks and scratches too.

But this is old Dominican music on a vinyl CD so I'm not worried.

Though my replacement needle is accruing dust... I should clean that.

But yeah, sound quality is off the charts. Don't know how to describe it. the stuff I've been listening to on Spotify or Apple Music (yeah, I know, I know) doesn't come close to the reverberations and timbre here. Honestly, I'm glad that I'm collecting vinyls now. I got this from the Dominican Republic; a person was just giving his old vinyls away. He said take as many as I could, too.

Anyway, gotta put in the gel to clean the needle.

But yeah, works like a charm.

What vinyls should I get?

Thinking of getting the "Big Wave" album by a certain Japanese artist.
