This has to be the most unique use for a phonograph I've ever seen. Leave it to Buster Keaton to come up with this. Matter of fact, the entire film is pretty incredible.

This film was way ahead of its time... a "phono-stove" and the first fully automated "smart" home...

Re: Very unusual use for a disc phonograph
Buster Keaton was a genus and all his films are worth seeing. The stove-ola gag was brilliant as was the rest of the stage. Thanks for posting this.
