If you hold the corner of a plastic banknote in the groove and rotate
the record you will hear the music. Yes really. It does work.

My Aunt's wind up gramophone worked quite well using a sewing pin
attached to a stiff paper cone:-)

Bored childhood!




A darning needle gripped between your front teeth worked well, too !

I've played 78s using a microgroove stylus. It didn't do any visible
(under a microscope) damage to the stylus.
