In a few decades the gramophone would be replaced by the ghetto blaster, then I-pod.

Thankyou for showing it.

Note. Don't leave your 78s out in the sun. It leads to Rock'n Roll.

Peter Warren
John Rosanowski I left my boxed Woodstock album on the back parcel shelf of my car which ended up in the sun(from the night before)... and they buckled..never to be repaired

Linda Hawken
That was probably very modern for the day
