How did this stupid trend begin? It's so completely counterintuitive!

That's the worst transgression, but also it's playing a 1940s record to demonstrate a (far) pre-electric era machine. Another very common annoyance.

Nothing wrong with the picture that I cannot see!

IOW, it might be useful to save the picture in the first instance and add it here for the rest of us who don't have FB and never will. ;)

It seems to overlap the cabinet so it probably is the wrong turntable. I do not think they had a 12 in turntable for that phonograph. It also could be a past owner swap out that wanted to play the bigger discs
