Am I the only person here who has never played a music cd??
My boys bought me the Beatle's collection a few years back.. It's never been opened.. We don;t have a cd player except for the computuer cd thingie. and I listen to the radio when I'm on...so...

Our old 1977 stereo has had a broken (and irreplaceable) needle since 1980..

I guess I am just a fuddy duddy :(

9. Radio Shack still sells needles for record players
Thru the catalog, not in the stores. Just in case you wanted to get that 1977 stero up and running again.

10. I really really want to find an old stereo
I want either a console model (in a nice wood piece of furniture) or a tabletop all-in-one. I don't want components like turntable speakers tuner, etc. Been there, done that. I want an old stereo. Circa 1964. And I sure can't find one!
