The 1976 Sony Chorocco

Seen at the "Art of Noise" exhibit at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art

A miniature VW Bus with built-in speakers that "drives" around your LP and plays it? Sounds pretty cool, but according to multiple sources it trashes any vinyl unlucky enough to serve as a roadway. Somebody got the bright idea to revive the concept, so today you can have your very own "Record Runner: World's Smallest Record Player" (on the secondary market) for as little as $84.00 plus shipping.
