Out Of Sight Motor Board Light

Here's a handy little gadget for those with cabinet machines. I just got a Brunswick Cortez and the tonearm bends the opposite way than I am used to with my Victrola. My living room isn't brightly lit, so I kept missing the outer groove when I went to play a record. I got one of these little LED lights and it's perfect. It's about the size of a toothbrush box and it sets right on the front edge of the motor board out of sight pointed back towards the tonearm. It's infrared sensing, so it turns on when I stick my hand into the cabinet, and as soon as I take my hand out, it turns off again. It runs off AAA batteries which last a very long time without needing to be changed. You don't even see it when you're using the phonograph. Really slick.
