Not like the original!

I was so excited to see Fisher Price come out with their classic toy collection as I have fond memories of some of these toys when growing up myself. So I was happy to purchase these for my own kids and see how they stood the test of time. Upon opening the record player and getting it set up, I noticed that it won't play without batteries! I believe the original was simply a wind-up record player which would play the records in a similar way to a music box (with small dots/grooves embedded on the records). But this uses batteries in order to run which was a huge disappointment to me. I feel they really took away the simplicity component of this toy by changing the way it plays the tunes. The tunes are mostly the same tunes from the original player, however it lacks that music box quality.


	Adjustments to the player's design and operation were made in order to meet the rigorous safety requirements implemented within the past few years. As fans of the old school player, we miss the wind-up, no batteries original version also. We contacted our customer promptly. Plan to wind-up here if your purchase isn't exceptional in every way - Returns & Exchanges. We're here to orchestrate a wonderful experience.)
