As a machine it is junk, but some of these fall into the category of folk art.

Here's another, recently advertised here in HongKong on a local Marketplace App for the equivalent of five hundred quid... I was almost taken in until I researched the name Vara-Phone!

Good grief, one has to see all sort of things!!! Look at that needle cup repurposed as a soundbox' "stand" and my oh my they dared to fit a venerable HMV 5A/5B on this... thing!!!poodling around wrote:Interesting variations for this 'make' of gramophone.
This one I actually quite like.
The record looks a bit weird - perhaps it belonged to salvador dali ..... or a werewolf
