JCPenney selling record players!

Among all the Christmas sales catalogs that inevitably stuff my mailbox was a holiday home sale mailer from JCPenney. I rarely pay these any mind, but when I glanced at the front cover I was stunned to see a turntable advertised. Yes, JCPenney is now carrying turntables and not just online, this one is available for purchase in stores. Granted it’s a USB turntable, but I could not help experiencing a sense of deja vu that took me back to the days when Penneys and almost every other department store had an electronics department stocked with record players, speakers, consoles and other audio gear. What’s next? An aisle with vinyl LPs?
