Hi,
I just bought this disc and I do not know how to run it.

Well since it says 33rpm on the label, I think I would try that first.

A lot of them. Though I don't know what's available where you live. Go to some audio stores and look, there are still new record players being made. Also, a lot of old are OK, for example my Technics SL-D20, which I bought used for ~115EUR.

A record player is quite delicate, so it would be better if you did not need to ship it.

Alshalan, our own members have phonographs for sale from time to time. One of them has bee trying to sell his Thorens for a while. It's an excellent model and a classic to audiophiles.

You might PM him if you are seriously considering collecting more phonograph records. It can be an engrossing hobby, so I'd start with good equipment in this day and age.

I,m sure there are some members who have some turntables available to you at resonable prices my self included ,,but shipping would be a killer
