The RECORD RUNNER

A look at the Record Runner novelty record player. A new take on the 1970s Sound Wagon - AKA the Vinyl Killer, the little VW van that drives around a record, both playing and destroying it at the same time.

I can see why it hasn't got a headphone jack.

The prototype for the 78 rpm record moved so fast it flew out the window and was never seen again.

[ultrawankerobliterator]

please tell me someone has painted one to look like the Mystery Machine

[blakeburton]

Do you think the guy driving that van likes his job?

[randomguy]

Someone get "running in the 90" on a record just for this

[FranLab]

I know it's wrong.... but I love this record obliterating gizmo.

[tomhsia]

This is ridiculous on so many levels, in the right way.
Wait, is this the world's smallest record player? It seems to be running for that record...

[FionaAppleRocks]

If you placed this on a revolving turntable then the bus would be able to play while appearing to be stationary

[frvo]

Can't deny. It did put a smile on my face...

[thecianinator]

The fact that you are a middle aged, white Englishman with an extensive knowledge of old school American hip hop makes my heart so warm. I respect someone who doesn't let stereotypes define what they're allowed to appreciate.

[praveenb]

It would have been a much more fun product if it had been off white with 1960's hippie style decals - flowers, smile, peace and shit like that.

[JosephdiCaro]

OMG that record you chose was the perfect accompaniment to that! I was smiling and laughing so big! Cute little novelty! Thanks for showing it to us

[some_shiptoster]

This would look hilarious playing Yakety Sax.

[insector]

There's just something so amazing about records and I love watching them being played.

"Lets cut grooves in this piece of vinyl and stick a needle in it to vibrate around!"

[Crazy_Borg]

So, even when VW does give you an emission-free electric car (even it's a bit small), it still manages to damage the environment (your Vinyl records and your ear drums).

[queruba.]

Now we need an AE86 Toyota version that drifts around the record

[EdgardoDC]

Still so much better than that disgusting record scratching rokblok

[mattsmith]

Two things you don't want to do with a VW van;
1. Drive one.
2. Play records with one.

[charliecahill]

anyone else read it as 'Record Ruiner'?

[FlorianEagox]

This takes the definition of a "portable" music player to a whole new level!
