gramophone
    n 1: an antique record player; the sound of the vibrating needle
         is amplified acoustically [syn: gramophone, acoustic
         gramophone]

Gramophone \Gram"o*phone\, n. [Gr. ? a thing drawn or written
   (fr. ? write) + -phone, as in telephone. Originally a
   trademark.]
   An instrument for recording, preserving, and reproducing
   sounds, the record being a tracing of a phonautograph etched
   in some solid material. Reproduction is accomplished by means
   of a system attached to an elastic diaphragm. This older term
   is almost completely replaced for modern devices by the word
   phonograph (or hi-fi), and technological changes have
   made the term sound antiquated, and it is usually used to
   refer to older non-electronic versions of the phonograph.
