kickstarter public funding of 1.5 million dollars to develop this, an interesting approach but other than being novel, whats the point ???

yeah it's really overkill, trendy stuff at this point.
plus there are a few vertical tables out there from the past anyway, I don't see the appeal at all.
I'm sure this player works ok for some records, and not that great for most records.
they advertise as "save space", I mean if you're going to own even 100 records, that takes up much more space than a regular turntable.

With you both. A LOT of snake oil for sale out there, but I take it as evidence of opportunity.... tongue planted firmly in cheek.
