Thank you to Bryan Jones for creating (and 3D printing) these custom Detroit Vinylfest tiny turntables!

These are fun collectible mementos. Each turntable comes with a stack of records (ie: coasters that look like records).

We will only have 10 of these for sale. $20/each. Cash exact change only. Limit one per customer.

We are a 501c3 NPO, so sales from these just go back into helping run the event.

Purchase yours at Detroit Vinylfest this Sunday!
