a little off topic - but a good friend of mine went over to Stanford University from Australia to present some papers about preserving reproducing piano rolls as midi files for an historic audio conference they were having there. The picture on the front of the programme that was given out?

Re: Berliner meets Puck
I found the programme at my friend's house this afternoon. It wasn't a complete crapophone, just the "sound box" - my memory played tricks, I'm sorry.

It's even pointing the wrong way into the record and leaning like a true Crapophone.
