Now this is undeniably cool in a retro-chic way - an olde worlde Gramophone is available in kit form from Japan. It records on any soft(ish) surface, they’ve used old CDs in the photos. I also really, really like the idea of recycling old coffee cups for use in an Edison phonograph. Could make piracy more interesting! “Pssst - wanna buy the latest Oasis plastic cup?”
