let's see how observant we are, we may know what the penny is for but is there a connection to this turntable?

afair you have to put the penny on the top of the needle to play a scratched record?!

Well, if your turntable isn't setup correctly, or broken, you might have taped pennies to it for balance. Can't tell what the turntable is, looks like a shure cartridge.

Yeah, we used to put coins on the arm in the 70's when records jumped, or when they were stacked up, like a dansette type player.

Was it the first turntable to feature some kind of built in tracking, so the penny was no longer required?

that's Abe Lincolns' personal turntable. he hated cleaning cassette machine heads.

The answer to this is easy.

The coin states ''IN GOD WE TRUST''
But rock LPs are the work of the devil.

Thus, the connection is Simon Cowell.

zen was close but I doubt it was the first. The penny was absolutely used to put weight on the cartridge on cheap junk turntables like BSR turntables

that's why they put counterweights on decent turntables, to control the tracking pressure. If you need a penny plus adjust the counterweight to it's heaviest tracking pressure it's time to get a new turntable. Note the strobe lines on the platter, note the gimbal and the low mass cartridge. They most surely had a counterweight on this turntable, though hard to see it's there...so there is no connection between this turntable and what a penny was used for. The person who made this meme should have done the same google search as me
