Is the arm heavy enough so it does not skip when playing the record?

It does not skip. Although the arm does not return to place automatically like the same model Crosley did before, nor is it made of metal as it used to be. The new one I have seams to be more poorly made. Light weight plastic.

It only plays one record, no stacking. You must load tonearm on the record but it does have an automatic return to stop function.

Not at all; at least it doesn't when I PLAY but I'm not a 'rock' keyboard player, either. It seems pretty solid to me.

yes the stylus arm has auto return. I still do not recomend this unit as the stylus/cartridge is of inferior quality. The sound reproduced when playing records is very trebbly and does not do your music justice. If your recording feature actually works (mine failed on 4 different units) you would be better off plugging in another quality record player into the auxilliary to record a better sound.Good luck with this unit if you do buy one, but after my experiences with this particular product, I will never purchase this brand again.

It doesn't weigh much at all, less than a small pager if you remember those things, lol! I imagine in would bounce around though a little. I use an arm strap, like an Ipod arm strap found here and clip it to it with no issues! https://search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?type=avastbcl&hspart;=avast&hsimp;=yhs-001&p;=ipod+arm+strap

I was unable to listen to a record due to a skipping turntable arm. However, when I listened to the radio the speakers sounded a little thin.

yes, another great thing about it is that you can use a jump drive and record directly. This was a gift for my son and he loved the sound of the 'vinyl'.

This little record player is great! Not bulky, classy design and (to answer your question) can play records of any size (33,45 or 78). I have only played 33s but it does have settings for the other sizes. Hope you decide to purchase!

I am more than pleased with my turntable. The only thing I wish I had thought about when ordering a turntable was an automatic arm that would lift and go back once the record was completely played. I have had no skipping at all. The radio plays great and the sound is also great. I ordered it because I purchased a scrapbook looking thing at a little shop and it had very old records in it. Great sound from those.

It is probably OK for arm workout. You could C clamp it down if it moves. I don't know hoe heavy it is.

No, I don't think so. The arm doesn't have any mechanical attachments, if that makes sense. It won't automatically go on the record or off. It's only done manually.

Plays back smoothly, yes. I have returned the product as it does not do a loop recording as claimed. Please see my review.

No, the arm simply slides down over the top of the tripod. It can make for a few squeaks so I'll just occasionally spay a little oil on the connection. This also makes it easy to setup and take down.

No. No high end turntables will do this and even cheap ones should not be able to! It's not a feature you want. Years ago some cheaper models had this feature, useful for playing a stack of 45 RPM, however, with each disk that drops the height of the tracking surface (the top of the top record) increases. As a result, the angle of tone arm has to increase and the stylus tracks in the groove at an increasingly tilted angle. This results in poor tracking, stylus wear and increased wear on the record. Not SUCH a big problem with a cheap ceramic cartridge and stylus, but with a magnetic cartridge and vinyl you actually value....?? If you ever have a player with this feature, don't use it.

No. It will only play the records that come with it. They are pretty much indestructable. They are designed for hard play by kids. They love it.

These should resist jumping and skipping during regular playback with no problems. But bear in mind, it depends on how badly your record is scratched. Sometimes there's just nothing you can do.
