For those of you who still have a stack of 33 vinyl ablums sitting around, but no longer have a turntable, I bring you Vinyl Killer….

Japanese company Razy-Works is selling this pint-sized VW bus that contains a needle, amplifier and speaker. The tiny bus has the precise turning radius and speed required to play a 33RPM record.

Prices range from 7,800yen ($67 USD) to 8,200yen ($70 USD) for the plastic and metallic versions, while a super-deluxe Swarovski crystal-encrusted version is available for 58,000yen ($500 USD).

I wonder if it leaves tire tracks?

  1. T.A. says:

    Precise turning radius? The radius changes with every rotation. Speed? Every lap has a different length. That means that both the speed and turning radius are not constants.

    I have doubts that this would perform as advertised.

  2. Sebas says:

    Don’t you think the bus can change his own speed with time passing?

    They just need to put in a timer wich reset when you start the engine… ;-)

  3. I’m so skeptic about it though I can say is that it is a portable vinyl player hehehe.
