It plays each track for around 15 seconds and then loops a 3 second clip of the track indefinitely.Ģ.)

Being that I have a ton of time on my hands now I decided to open it up and found a fair amount of grease built up around the mechanism. I briefly tried to use it when I bought it, but it was basically DOA would power on, but the tonearm would not move. It belonged to a guy who had passed away and was obviously a bit of an audiophile.
