One probably much like these guys: http://www.myspace.com/thesmokinmenehunes I would invite you to come down to one of our free performances coming up, and see for yourself. We have tried our best to recreate the original tiki scene that you are talking about in this thread. In between our sets, we do use a CD player but the songs we play are also classic instrumental hawaiian tunes. Here are some modern samples of stack-o-matic turntables. I believe Crosley also has a larger, console type as well. Of course, these are lacking the tube technology that gives old records that "sound", but it's the next best thing. I own one. http://www.crosleyradio.com/Product.aspx?pid=1593 [ Edited by: lucas vigor 2009-12-27 09:14 ]
