I collect these old phono pictures when I find them and I liked this one you posted but with all the watermarks it was annoying to look at so I spent a little while running it through some video correction software and ended up with this:

David,

Played around with software again and produced a very believable color version.

Today the wife and I saw the film Eden. Why is it so hard for the set director to find a period disc phonograph. Especially when it will be seen several times and close-up in several scenes. This is the only image currently available.
