Teens Build Fully-Functional LEGO Record Player

Mark and Ralph built this fully-functional record player using only LEGO pieces -- aside from the "paper cone, tin foil in the cone, and the straight pin that rides the record." Though not very practical, it would make a great conversation piece. Video after the jump.
Yep, you read it right! Everything is on this is made of LEGO, even the small motor is from a robotics invertion system

Put simply, AMAZING! I played with LEGO blocks as a child, but never imagined they could be used to make a record player

very cool, though the video is almost exactly 5 minutes longer than it needs to be ;) the proof of concept was evident at around 1:45 nice work guys!

Great use of brain power. Still won't get you laid. And what's up with the gay metal forearm protectors?

+10 bonus points for Iron Man. I AAAAAAAM IRRRROOOON MAAAAAAN. Awesome concept. Sounds grainy, but you can chalk that up mostly to both video quality and the fact that the sound's being recorded by a video camera. I can't help but think that it's hell on the vinyl, though.

I built one 5 years ago out of mindstorms. It would reset the arm with a touch of a button. http://mindstorms.lego.com/eng/inventions/invention.asp?ID={632C0660-F665-D64A-A771-6C25048FFBFD}&slotN=1

It would probably sound better with non-metal music. And it DEFINITELY will not get you laid, sorry boys.

Hey guys, if you build a Lego version of one of those vacuum-powered record cleaning machines, I'll buy one (and so would a lot of other people--those things are expensive)! http://www.needledoctor.com/Online-Store/Record-Cleaning-Machines

I did this about 5 years ago. With the touch of a button it would could stop the record and move it back to the original position.
