Gramophones were in vogue during my childhood. I am not sure if anyone has them these oays what with strides made when it comes to recorded music.
From long playing records, to video tapes, to casettes, CDs and now loads of music on youtube mostly free there is no reason why anyone should possess any gadgets to listen to music.
In my house there are CDs, tapes and a tape deck but they are all languishing.
What is your story?

@allknowing There are a few shops around that can restore the player and a few more that actually sells the records. But such records are generally expensive.

I remember having in my home in the former Canal Zone in Panama an eight track player as well as a long play record player but my relatives and myself never owned a Gramaphone.

The dog’s name was Nipper, for the record.
I’ve seen cylinder players but never actually listened to one. Most of my music is streamed now, although I do still have plenty of CDs and albums.

I wonder if anyone connected with the owners of Nipper are still around
