If it comes down to "the fashion item to have" then turntables are
a much stronger contender.

Really? I *very* much doubt that turntables will ever be a "fashion item"
again.

Urban Outfitters is a semi-fashionable store that sells clothes,
furnishings, etc to college students in the US. I was surprised to find
a small section of the shop given over to such 'obsolete' items as Holga
cameras, cheap turntables and high quality lps.

A whole generation has missed out
on vinyl, which, for many, holds a deep fascination.

Clearly it does for you.

I'm also fascinated by obsolete audio technolgy, particularly those used
with pictures, such as the 4-track magnetic striped system used with 35mm
film from 1953 to the late 1970s. Far more fascinating than mere vinyl, IMO
:-).
