Teenage Engineering has launched the PO-80 Record Factory, a compact, USB-powered vinyl record cutter that lets you cut your own 5” vinyl at home and play them back in lo-fi.  

It looks a little like a toy, and I suppose for some, it will be, but…

#### Imagine taking one on the road to cut and sell a one-of-a-kind record of a fan’s favorite live song at each show?
