As seen at a somewhat local "antiques mall".

The manufacturer of the player is "Paillard" and the record album on the
platter is a 78 RPM called "Berceuse aux étoiles" (Cradle of the stars), on
which is marked "85 cents in the US, 90 cents in Canada". That statement
tells me that it was made in Québec, since a French recording would not have
pricing such as that marked on it.

No batteries, no headphones, just wind it up and play it. The chrome-plated
tonearm is the sort that had the needle AND "speaker" built into it. Not
really a speaker, just a part of the arm made specially to allow the
vibrations picked up by the needle to be naturally amplified, the horn
effect. You old-timers will, I am sure, excuse me talking about the basics
and will also correct any errors I have made.

Anyway, the record player is somewhat crude, but effective. Out in the
canoe, a young man could serenade his passenger.

Which, I am certain, will be the type of comments heard when someone in the
future compares MP3 players to whatever is the then-current technology.
