She might be a normie cunt but shes still going to notice how fucking dreadful the playback is. Like listening to a 128kbp/s limewire rip on a old Sony Ericsson.

Option 1: Be completely honest and open with her. Tell her now since you already found out somehow. She'll feel bad, but it won't be as bad as telling her on Christmas morning or living a lie for the rest of your life, and she'll have a chance to get you something else.
Option 2: Pretend to love it and just play a few records that you don't really like and/or are already scratched to hell. If you don't have any, just go to a thrift store and get some old abused records.
Not an option: Get out now because you're a normie with a girlfriend. Ree.

Would replacing the cartridge with a better one help with the damage issue, or is it something mechanical in the player that's at fault?
Op go out and buy one for yourself before christmas pretending to be oblivious to the fact she got you one, get an old scratched record and play it in front of her and complain that it ruined it and take it back and hope she gets the hint to return the one she got you.
Either that or like pretend to shop for a vinyl player and look at a few and when you get to that one read negative reviews about it and maybe make up a friend that had one and got his shit ruined and once again hope she gets the hint.
Orjust fucking tell her it's fucking shit you fucking pussy[\spoiler]

i believe that crosleys damage records in two ways: the cartridge gouging the shit out of it and the platter being too small, thus warping the record, so replacing the cartridge would not really save the record

Me and my gf stopped buying each other Christmas presents years ago, saved us a lot of money.

You are getting cucked by tyrone at this moment. Hipster cunt. Get out with your normie problems. Fuck of reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
>>25122310

she must really love you
>>25124564
>>25125224
she prolly picked it up when she bought a pack of magnums for tyrone to pound her
>>25122310
Use it the day you get it to show her you have an interest in it. Use a shit tier vinyl, which is perfect for a shit tier player. Then tell her you heard it scratches disks and never use it again. Problem solved.
