We really have no idea what use the Emile Berliner Gramophone Kit will have once you put it together, but it looks cool. Just pop on an old CD AOL anyone?, drop the needle and speak or play music into the attached cup -- the sound is etched into the disc. It takes about an hour to assemble. The disc can only be played on another gramophone, though, not your CD player. It's at www.verycoolthings.com for $69.99.
