Query: seriously???

i bought this model back in 2002 and recently dusted it off to spin some 78's that were left to me. i was so excited to listed to these great records but was quickly disappointed when the player wouldn't operate...and then i remembered, it never really did work properly. after several minutes the unit develops a loud hum and if you turn up the volume, it just gets louder too. the arm slides across the vinyl and or completely stops the table from spinning. i can't see that it's worth it to even have it fixed. so, i went online to look into buying a new record player and read all the great reviews for crosley...i almost bought a new one until i looked at the brand of the one i have & discovered it also is a crosley. no sense buying another piece of junk.save your money...
