Old School Vinyl Records Recycled Into Nostalgic Retro Lamps

One thing I wish I kept from my childhood is my parent’s old record player. I sold it in a garage sale for a couple bucks about a decade ago, and I’ve regretted it every since. Kids these days will probably never see a record player in real life, and it’s one of those retro gadgets that would be so much fun to bust out with every so often. Vinyl records are such a classic, and to this day, many people prefer listening to music that way.

When I think about vinyl records, I think about all the elaborate artwork that artists used to put on their album covers. It was a big part of the whole music experience before CDs became popular in the mid ’80s. Since I was so young back then, I only have one or two memories of putting a record on the record player, and then carefully setting the needle on the edge as it spun around.

If you are a fan of those retro vinyl records, you are going to love these lamps. They were created by recycling those old vinyls. This is such a great example of how something old can become new again, and get a completely different second life and a new use.

If you have some special records up in your attic or in the basement, you might even be able to talk them into making a lamp from them. That would make having one of these even more special. Of course, your kids won’t understand it, and they’ll be confused by the concept of a record player. But you’ll get it, and that’s all that matters.
