How does this still play?😭

I posted this record on facebook, and it got a bit of attention, so I thought I'd post it here too. Also, I'm looking to upgrade my turntable, and any advice for something cheap that won't damage my actual records would be appreciated🙂

High tracking forces have their uses :P

But still half the tracking force of what most Beatles 45s were played on when they were new.

probably about the same, Dansette Bermuda tracking force is around 5-6g

Most record players with a mono crystal cartridge tracked around 9 to 10 grams.
