    That’s a really innovative idea, and solves a lot of transportation problems since phonographs were usually stationary in a house.

    However, the size doesn’t fix the problem of carrying around 10" disks to play on it, so the setup is only as compact as its components. Still better than carrying around a cabinet, though!
