Vinyl records have been making a fairly strong comeback lately, with well over 2 million sold in 2009. While that is still less than 1 percent, you have to do more than collect a few records nowadays to be the coolest hipster on the block. Fortunately, Gakken has come to the rescue with their Premium Gramaphone Kit.

A replica of gramophones used in the early 20th century, it supports all record sizes and even lets you record. The gramophone, once assembled, is powered by hand crank, and uses either a bamboo or metal needle – both included.
