Actually, if I'm not mistaken, the Gakken Berliner machine uses a CD also.

That said... wonder how close to the RIAA curve that recording is. :lol:

I've recorded snatches of voice by yelling into the horn of an upright Victrola while the needle traveled over the runout groove of a 33rpm vinyl record. A small feedscrew attachment, blanks, and a cutting needle would probably do to convert a regular phonograph into a record lathe.

I've done similar with a CD on my Columbia portable. Track the reproducer across by hand. And it does play back, albeit quietly on a modern turntable.
