'Toc' is a portable record player created by designer Roy Harpaz. It is shaped like a football and that is exactly how this record player is supposed to look. By taking the form of an upright football, this record player allows users to insert vinyl records and play them on a vertically rotating system.
Toc lets users easily skip tracks with the use of a remote and a sensor that scans each track on every vinyl that is placed in it.
This lightweight and portable record player is perfect for using outdoors at the beach or at a campfire when you want to play some unique retro-style music. Of course, there are vinyls produced by artists from every decade but this record player brings out the rock and roll vibes of the 80s.
