Can the turntable be played with the cover in place? (meaning: set the needle and then replace the cover.)

No. There is a contour in the middle of the plastic that would not allow the needle to sit on the record

I'm not sure about that cover but the eom covers can be closed while they play records. From the shape of the top it does not look like the moving parts will able to move. Wish I could help more

I dont think so. The recess on the lid would make it hard for the tone arm to move.

Yes it can I play my turntable all the time with the deck cover in place on while playing.

As of 12/2015, Jensen customer service says you should use the stylus it came with for all speeds. That's their opinion. You can get the proper needle at the "lpgear" site. Unfortunately it's half the cost of the turntable.

If you've upholstered before it shouldn't be too difficult but if intend to recover the existing vinyl, be aware there's piping (welting) around the edge so you might want to add batting to compensate if you're not removing the original.

Hey Maria! No the turntable doesn't do that, however; the tone arm does everything for you!! Just hit the start button and the tone arm lifts and outs it's self in place for you. When the record is done the arm does all the work again! It's very convenient!

Yes it will fit, but the dust cover is not hinged. I bought a cover and hinges, which I found later that the dust cover must have the hinges installed buy a Tech, because holes have to be drilled into the turntable to attach the hinges. to make it go up and down as a dust cover. I leave it alone and don't worry about it. I can't believe that Technics could come up with that poor idea. It fits perfectly, but be prepared to spend some money to have it all attached.

Mine got no problem at all. The turntable was packed very well, tight and safe.

You spin it with your own hands. 1st in one direction several times and than the other. No motor or anything. Just don't put your new heavyweight vinyl into this machine. It will do more damage than good. I am hand washing my new pressings and reserving this for thinner older LP's. See my review of the plain model (even though I have the clear) for more detail.

I don't quite understand your question. Will you be playing 78 RPM records? If so you will need a cartridge with a 78 RPM stylus for these records as they are made of shellac and the grooves are wider. if you are referring to replacing your current needle with a 78 RPM needle I would have to know the cartridge model in order to make a recommendation.

Though i like rock bang-bang music. I DO have to agree. I played rock, jazz, old records and new records and the sound quality is horrible. I am thinking its the needle since its flimsy and unsecured. I am not sure if replacing it (and spending $40) will change the result. :/ any advise would help.

Yes, I have. This turntable is a piece of crap. I bought a different one after a few frustrating weeks of dealing with this thing.

Oh, for sure. Great turntable. It has a universal head shell, so, it works. Still enjoying mine. Getting ready to purchase an additional stylus replacement so I will have it when needed.
