Found this....
This isn't the Holy Grail, but kind of neat. I found this last weekend. It's a Lindstrom toy phonograph #276, maybe from the 1930's - 1940's? I plugged it in, it works, and I didn't burn the house down. It sounds like a washing machine of the same vintage, and it produces music, in its own sickly and charming way, though it is no Victrola. Someone interestingly put a Vocalion reproducer on it. For the $25 that I paid, it is a good item to put on the shelf.

Re: Found this....
It's cute and the price was right...
