Just got this little item, a battery operated plastic toy talking machine 'phonograph'. Comes with 3 'records' which are digitally played.
Watch it play on YouTube:

It's an American Girl Doll product. The company I work for prints signage for American Girl stores and I noticed the phonograph on some prints we did. It's a pretty nice representation for a toy!

What will they think of next?
My grand-daughters (ages 6 & 10) are AG doll freaks and would be blown away by this! They love to come by my phono repair shop and watch and listen to the old phonographs. This should go over big!
Thanks!

Made of plastic and yet it still looks better than those Indian made abominations.
