Sampling old vinyl records from my father's generation has a certain "spice" to it.  It's just more fun.  I have crates of vinyl records from the baby boomer generation in which I sample certain sections, loops, and phrases of the song.  I love finding the key of the song and adding my own drums, bassline, and harmonies on top of it.  I brought my turntable from Cleveland back to Fort Wayne and as soon as I turned it on and pressed play it died!  The motor must be shot.  I am going to find out if I can fix it from NeatNeatNeatrecords.com, but I'm not sure how expensive it is to fix a motor.  Either that or get a new turntable.
