We have an old Japanese toy that was my parents from the 1960’s that’s a little blue “Volkswagon Bus” that ‘drives’ around the record exactly like this. Your black switch you hit is the ‘antenna’ on the bus. This newer Bluetooth speaker looks identical on the bottom to this now 60-yr old toy. When you said “someone engineered this and it works”, all I could think about is how the original engineer probably died decades ago 😂
You should try to find that toy and say you invented it and you can sue for millions LOL... The guy from shark tank probably had the same toy your parents had and copied the design
@@mocservices7526 haha it was called the “Soundwagon Record Runner” and there’s still a ton of them that can be found on eBay and other sites in different colors. Ours is blue and still has the original retro packaging. I’m surprised this guy’s invention flew under the radar with no one else recognizing that.
The inventors are by a company in Japan, Tamco Sound Wagon in 1960 they are deceased now but today there would be a copy right infringement against Logan Riley.

I mean obviously if your a serious Vinyl collector it’s not for you. But why are people so hard on a cool lil trinket that plays vinyl?! It’s cool and fun
It scratches vinyl and doesn’t even sound good at all. If it has Bluetooth you might as well just buy a real record player for cheaper from a local record store.
Even if you weren’t a “serious vinyl collector” why would you want to buy something that damages your record just for the sake of it being “cool and fun”
59$ No wonder shark tank bought him out for a couple 100,000$ and inflated the price. They couldn't make their money back. He was probably laughing his ass off.
Thank you for showing how to play it in the beginning of the record. So many only showed how to start it in the middle of a record including the manufacturer!
When I was 14, 1976, I used an empty match box with a pin in one side and carefully held it on vynil as it turned on the record player, we could hear the song!
Some time in the 1970's an audiophile magazine reviewed a cartridge-sized gizmo, 'way tinier than this, which tracked its way around a record & transmitted the sound to the rest of your system. I've been trying to track down this article for a long time 'cos it was great. I remember it was in the April issue, but a lot of people didn't realize that it was an April Fools story. :-)
There is an evident flaw in the design. The speed of the box is the same for outer and inner tracks. As a result, the pitch is lower in outer tracks, and higher in inner tracks. Check by yourself at 6:25 (outer track) and 4:35 (inner track).
@@0neMadGypsy Your explanation is wrong, but also my statement was probably wrong. As the turntable always makes 33 1/3 turns per minute, linear speed of the head is higher in outer tracks and slower in inner tracks, but so is the recording head on the master. Inner tracks are denser because recorded (and read) at lower linear speed. Indeed, this difference seems to be compensated because the box always takes about 9 seconds to make five turns, in outer tracks as well as in inner tracks. Most likely the box decreases linear speed at increasing angle of the head, to achieve such compensation. This could be easily tested.
The concept of this is brilliant. In practice it is disappointing. If they could make it with wheels that were not going to tear your vinyl up, would be great. Perhaps, wheels made of the same felt as record cleaners that way it cleans your vinyl while it plays.
Who walks around with albums under their arm that they need a small portable player? Who has albums at home without a proper record player? Then the sound must make you dizzy because it’s going round whilst you’re stationary- louder, quieter, louder, quieter, louder, quieter. It’s full of plastic and the speaker must sound tinny with no bass and treble control.
thats why you connect it to a bluetooth speaker and while i have a proper record player at home it takes up a good amount of space and i cant bring it to college so the idea has an audience. they just need to perfect the design.
After your live, I had to look at it. Did you try it on a 45? I would think the centrifugal force would throw it off the record. Actually it's an amazing piece of engineering work even if it isn't very useful.
This thing was on Shark Tank. The guy who invented it wanted a portable record player he could take anywhere. I wish you tested the Bluetooth capability probably sounds much better than the small speaker it has. You got it to work so it does what it says it will. As far as the "Vinyl Killer" comment, I would have wished you would show how it really would do damage to a record. Perhaps better shots of the record to see if there was any damage.
This product is great! I tied two together and attached them to a long zip cord. When I swung them around they made a cool whistling sound. I now use a box of these as a boat anchor. By the way, I turn mine off with a hammer.
Day before yesterday, I saw one of these at my local Goodwill. Still In the box for $5. I wondered what the hell it was. this video answered my question. Thanks. If it's still there when I go back, I may buy it just for grins. It kinda reminds me of the toy racetrack I had when i was a kid. In fact, it would have really cool if they had shaped the unit like a racecar. Call it The Rok Racer or maybe The Record Racer.
If Sharktank dude really purchased this company - dude came out like a bandit. I cannot imagine most vinyl folks would wanna use this one their precious records.
@@miroslavbuchar2559vinyls are for hipsters period 😂 that or pensioners who can’t let go of the past. All of your vinyl records are useless because all of the songs can be played online with 10x the sound quality through any half decent speaker, let alone a high quality speaker
Yep, everyone wants to know what company the dude got bought out of from Shark Tank. I'm betting he's happy as hell he cashed out while he had a market for this thing. I doubt they're going to keep selling these in great quantities when the top review video on RUclips is talking about how poor the sound quality is while also scratching your vintage collection.
No balancing no alignment, it just sits on top with all that weight pushing on the needle, that thing will shred your vinyl 😂 All I’m saying is I wouldn’t trust it
It's meant to be like an on-the-go type of thing like you to come across a record at a yard sale or you have some in the trunk and you're at a party and you want to play them. If you have a record player of course you're going to use it but this is like the backup, the on The go version
They can be if you use clay you find on the ground, make a record out of that clay and the fire you built also from the stuff you found, then the tricky part is recording tracks onto that disc you made but I'm sure everyone can figure that part out. Then you pull out your crappy compact record player and listen to horrible quality music. But hey, it's portable!
There was already something like this back in the 70s or 80s but it was a van that would drive around on top of the record while playing it. This isn't new.

They got the right idea, but the wrong implementation. Instead of turning the turntable they did have this thing run around in circles. better idea is 1: build something lightweight that sits in the center of the vinyl and and there is a sylus that rotates around the album. 2: with modern software, no need to worry about speed. software processes the data and plays it back properly
After I took this RB back I decided to buy another one, maybe the 2nd would be better. It was actually worse. I will sell you mine for 75.00 Thanks for watching.
You sound extremely entitled. It does the job and it's portable. It would never replace the originals, but for use on the go, it's not terrible. The limitations of the machine are a direct result of the shortcomings of vinyls. Which is why they're inferior to digital.
Take the speaker away and make Bluetooth only, take 75% bulk away.... re-sign make it sleek arrow shaped with 💯 accuracy indicator, make it glow for night... add a better needle... would be cool.
The portable record player - for when you are taking your records out to... the bar or something I guess? Because you can't just use your phone when you're out on the town. Have to carry some records with you.
@@breakerbroke23 shark tank brought me here. I have no interest in the product. because I never feel the need to play vinyls on the go. The thought of that is ridiculous to me. It solves no actual problem. Because even tho the unit is small, it’s not like I could use this in the car, or on a jog. It’s really no different than a brief case turntable considering you still have to lug all of the vinyls with you which aren’t small. So you still need something to carry everything… and a good surface. The only people who will buy them just want to gift it or use it like a toy. However, add some drum pads on it and turn it into a little sampling toy… that could be cool.
Yeah, that's kind of your right as a consumer. To test things out and return under their return policy. Even better he shares his experience to the world!

Instead of turning the turntable they did have this thing run around in circles. better idea is 1: build something lightweight that sits in the center of the vinyl and and there is a sylus that rotates around the album. 2: with modern software, no need to worry about speed. software processes the data and plays it back properly
Can't wait to get one of these so I can bring my record collection to the beach.
Brings to beach. Warps all vinyls 😂
He starts using it at 4:34
Thank you 🙏
Thank you!
i can't believe how cheap it is to fuck up my records!
Dam that dude who sold it on shark tank made a quick 500k then another 500k in 2 year salary 😂 LEGEND
You should have kept it. It was discountinued. I saw one online going for $119.00
After I took this RB back I decided to buy another one, maybe the 2nd would be better.
It was actually worse. I will sell you mine for 75.00
Thanks for watching.
they are not discontinued
@@JerzyCarranza I went online and all I saw is one used one so where do buy them new?
@@dennisschnobrich9288 idk the website just said they were out of stock, but not discountinued
They are not discontinued. They are only $89 new, on their website.
I can’t believe one of the guys from shark tank bought out the creator. This thing seems like it has some pretty clear design flaws. 🤔
He bought it for 500k. It's worth $5 milion now. I think he did a pretty good deal.
best televised deal of the year
Maybe the original model was better before they began mass producing it.
No wonder the inventor jumped at the chance this thing is crap I wouldn’t put that on any of my vinyls
You sound extremely entitled. It does the job and it's portable. It would never replace the originals, but for use on the go, it's not terrible. The limitations of the machine are a direct result of the shortcomings of vinyls. Which is why they're inferior to digital.
So we’re all here now?
Yup
Yep
Shark tank lol
From the short?🤣
@@allmightoneforall1338 I’m from the shor t haha
Saw this on Shark Tank, he sold everybody. Almost bought one myself, I’m glad I saw your video. Won’t ever buy one now. Thanks 🙏
Take the speaker away and make Bluetooth only, take 75% bulk away.... re-sign make it sleek arrow shaped with 💯 accuracy indicator, make it glow for night... add a better needle... would be cool.
Records are not supposed to be played on Bluetooth, it affects the sound quality. If you had a record and a record player you would know that.
This is just a toy and is not meant for serious listening.
The portable record player - for when you are taking your records out to... the bar or something I guess? Because you can't just use your phone when you're out on the town. Have to carry some records with you.
This would've boomed in the 80s and 90s and you know it.
So you buy the item. Make a video on it. And then return it immediately. Take that Walmart.
Yes I did, then I BOUGHT another one to see if maybe I got a dud. The 2nd one played even WORSE!
I kept it. Total waste of money.
@@breakerbroke23 shark tank brought me here. I have no interest in the product. because I never feel the need to play vinyls on the go. The thought of that is ridiculous to me. It solves no actual problem. Because even tho the unit is small, it’s not like I could use this in the car, or on a jog. It’s really no different than a brief case turntable considering you still have to lug all of the vinyls with you which aren’t small. So you still need something to carry everything… and a good surface.
The only people who will buy them just want to gift it or use it like a toy.
However, add some drum pads on it and turn it into a little sampling toy… that could be cool.
@@breakerbroke23 why the hell did u keep the 2nd? Makes absolutely no sense
Yeah, that's kind of your right as a consumer. To test things out and return under their return policy. Even better he shares his experience to the world!
@@XXLRebel well. If this wasn’t Walmart and perhaps a small business. I would say that is absolutely fucked.
"its bluetooth thats what caught my eye..."
"it has bluetooth but im not interested in trying that today even though i already am going out of my way to film this video"
You forgot all the umm ahh umm ahh umm ahh
The worst part is that there are people who still want to buy this crap after watching this video
Id say the player has record breaking quality.
Perspective : you just came from Tik Tok
I love vinyl but c'mon really? A portable record player just listen to Spotify or CDs at that point how hips does someone need to be
I can agree. Records are meant to be listened to with a good quality Hi-Fi system at home.
Congrats to the guy for making a little fortune off the shark.
My kids would love this thing not as a record player but as a choo choo train
awesome! hard to believe it work, clever!
A friend had this and it lasted 2 hours then stopped working. It felt like something you’d get at 5 and Below.
I don't have this item but I put my bluetooth speaker on an oscillating fan for a similar effect.
