Is it worth my time to see if it even powers up? Is it past it's time as far as tech is concerned? Pop it on the bay and just flip it as is?
I loved mine when I had one years ago. Used it for mp3s and it was a favorite. It developed problems after a fall (who woulda thunk?).
For that price, if it was an open box, I personally would see if it worked and if it did, I would rock it. Unopened box? Tougher question.
I wouldn't pay the prices that are on Ebay for one, but I mean, someone would eventually. Maybe.
This nostalgia strikes me better than vinyl ever will.
