spinbox is the cardboard box turntable that you can build yourself

technology’s insatiable obsession with nostalgia has made the humble vinyl one again the most fashionable way to listen to music. but whilst you can pick up a handful of records for a nifty price, finding a turntable to listen to them with has always been the expensive predicament. that’s exactly the problem that chinese startup spinbox are trying to solve with their cardboard box record player that you can put together yourself. with a built-in amplifier and two speaker units, the spinbox is the all-in-one way to play vinyl on the go.

 

 

the spinbox’s exterior is made from recycled paper pulp–a water-resistant, and versatile material that is also used in packaging for apple products. the device can be driven via Micro USB and fits most phone charger adapters and portable chargers, allowing the nifty player to easily switch from 33 to 45 to 78 RPM and plays 7-inch, 10-inch, and 12-inch singles. should the thought of assembling your own record player sound rather tricky, spinbox assure that the whole ensemble can be constructed in just 18 minutes, prodiving a how-to video tutorial to prove their point.
