Tiny Vinyl Player

A $50 record player that can’t play any full-size records sounds like a bad deal. It nearly is, because the records it plays already work on most turntables you might own. The Tiny Vinyl Player does one thing: it spins 4-inch records that look like full-size albums but fit in your palm. No LPs, no
