I am 40, and I have a lot of friends who have extensive vinyl collections that are sitting idle. So I'm just trying to get them to buy a basic turntable and to start spinning again. I don;t expect them to buy anything more than a entry level Music Hall or Sumiko TT, but even that has brought more than one or two people back into the record playing community...
