not!!

Spin the top & try keep the needle in the groove. An adventure in dexterity.

As a novelty its great though! Anyone seen one live?

The ad says it's "Fun and Destructive"...errrr... I mean "Fun and Instructive".

Instructive of what? How to not play a record? What are the chances of this maintaining a speed of 78rpm?
