This is a decidedly oddball item, a paper, manually finger-operated gramophone fitted with a flexi-disk -- something that was issued to Dutch Beatles Fan Club members one Christmas.

I did not previously know such a thing existed. Now I do.
Edit: after looking at the structure here, perhaps this should have been posted in the other rubbish bin.

Re: Dutch Beatles Fan Club Paper Gramophone
I think it belongs here, it's not an attempt of a poor copy of something original, it's an original in itself, even a piece of history.
