Abstract: A record player capable of playing phonographic records that may be played in a scratch style by a user. The record player includes a tonearm that is rotatably supported at or near an end of the tonearm by a structure having both horizontally and vertically fastening points to the tonearm. The fastening points are configured to receive a user activated tension adjustment element. A user may advance or retreat the tension adjustment element to selectably control the positioning, or relative tension in the tonearm such that any record skipping due to undesirable tonearm pressure is controlled, or to achieve a specific sound.

Abstract: A remotely powered device having an outlet receptacle with multiple outlet receptacles. The outlet receptacle includes a female receptacle configured to receive a corresponding male plug and conduct electrical power potential in the 1 volt to 240 (+/?10%) volt range. The outlet receptacle further includes a USB receptacle capable of delivering low voltage DC current to a corresponding male insert, a transformer and an AC/DC converter. The outlet receptacle is adapted to convert AC current to low voltage DC current. The outlet receptacle is useful in powering portable electronic devices while also providing higher voltage power to other devices.
