Could take a photo of my Ion USB Turntable TTUSB, but it wouldn't do half the justice of the online ad at:

http://www.ionaudio.com/products/details/ttusb

 . . . which sells on Amazon for $112.00

http://www.amazon.com/Ion-TTUSB-Turntable-USB-Record/dp/B000BUEMOO

I knew I should have waited.  I paid just over $200 for mine.  But it is still considerably less than $90,000.

By the way, I have digitized many records for several Viz subscribers. So, my offer still stands . . .

Any of you fine V-Peeps wanna save $90,000 and have some of your vinyl digitized . . . at no cost, of course . . . jus' payin' it forward (as the saying goes).

Seeya round town, Moscow.
