My old old record player (older than I was, anyway) died when I was in high school - I was devastated. I could never find a replacement needle for the damned thing anyway.
Funny thing is, they are easier to come by now than they were 10 years ago. I have a couple of them, both recently manufactured. One has a USB out and I've been ripping my collection to mp3, funny enough.
There's a renewed interest in vinyl for the collectors market, I have albums that are brand-spanking-new on vinyl also. So you can find them now, if you want to dig out your old records. :P
