I was very disappointed when I bought my kid a “vintage” Fischer Price record player. Turns out it’s made in 2023 by a company that licensed the look. [1] Instead of winding a spring, the wind knob turns on an electric motor that takes batteries. Instead of playing the music with an embedded set of metal tines in the play head, the disk just holds and RFID and the player loads the mp3 file of what the original 1980s toy sounded like. The thing is an abomination. 1: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003CGVCXS https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003CGVCXS
