I forgot to wind it before I started playing it, silly me. Completely mechanical, non-electric. The sound is routed underneath the turn table to the two doors. It is quite a bit louder when you open the doors. You also have to change the needle after every song otherwise the needle wears the record. I bought a hundred pack of needles for .50. I recorded this with the sephia mode on my phone because the lighting was dark and it helped with that.
