Re: Having a laugh?
It's quite a while since record players were more than a fashionable mention to the general public, hence the coining of the abstract name "vinyl" for anything and everything to do with the medium. It's not surprising that newcomers are confused by the appearance of a mechanical machine and the unfamiliar terminology to go with it, however simple it appears to those who grew up with it. And yes some more experienced contributors do occasionally get caught out!
