If you’re tired of accidentally searing your retinas trying to align the laser in that DIY CD or DVD player, you just might be interested in this gramophone kit from GadgetStuff. It looks like this kit is of the ‘paper cone’ variety, in which vibrations from the needle resonate through (guess what) a paper cone for amplification. You can actually build something similar without the kit—I saw Mr. Wizard do it, once—but obviously it is hard to maintain consistency in your turning speed and needle pressure. Presumably this kit resolves those issues. And hey, good luck finding a record player half as cool for $30.
