I still have my old albums. I have been thinking about buying a record player on Ebay. I had forgot about the penny thing.Sometimes, it took more than one. Those were the good ol days!!

Sure did many times. I still have some of those 45's and 33 1/2 lps and play them once in a while.

Yes, that was on the records that I played again and again, or when one of my brothers pushed the arm and made a slight scratch on the records. Worked too. I still have a record player attatchment that goes with my stereo system. That is why I do not want to buy another one, then I will have norhting to play my collection of 78's on. I do not have any 45's right now, but of course used to have many during my teens, and my mother used to have a few that I would listen to all the time.

OMG no! I was the teenage audiophile, saved to get the very best equipment I could, had a good turntable and balanced it to cause no harm (as little as possible) to records..those things were expensive and I didn't want to ruin them. I had 1000's of 45's and a lot of albums...that is the one thing I took good care of. Peace, Phil

Gosh, I had forgotten all about that. I sure did. I had this little square box type record player. It was like a suitcase. You could take it with you somewhere, but still required electricity.

I never used a rubber band, but remember putting a nickel on the top of the arm to help put pressure on it......
your idea seems so much better.....I did not realize how old I really was.....JK

Not the rubber band, but a penny or a dime worked.

I had no idea that's what it took to keep my records from skipping. Why didn't I think of that?

I remember doing that. Or ever push down on it just where it was scratched and seemed to stick in hopes that would make a new groove and all would be well.
