Just for fun, "CD Phonograph"...

Came across this "CD Phonograph" on the web, thought I'd share just for fun.

Image
A CD player was disassembled and the components rearranged to suit the layout of a phonograph. The speakers are put below the trumpet loudspeaker for amplification. The wooden box is made slightly more spacious then the electrical PCB board needed to achieve bass resonance. The laser pointer is shifted to the top allowing the spin of the CD to be clearly shown.

By bringing back a familiar nostalgic form of a phonograph, the design seeks transport the user back to the golden age of phonographs in early 1900s where sound broadcasting had a magical feel.

I don't think so, perhaps I'd buy one as well. ;-)

It would be a nice toy to have, but I don't know that I'd want to use it. I didn't think you were supposed to operate CD players with the laser exposed.
