Yeah, they are quite fun to use as well! Albeit you can't really
manually move the stylus as with other turntables and you can't
change the slip mat since the linear tracking relies on it being
that exact slip mat. Luckily mine still hasn't disintegrated so
it's still working great.

Just looked it up. Man that does evoke some steampunk vibes.
