February 6th, 2010 – Gakken makes some of the coolest DIY kits out there. I have the SX-150 pocket synthesizer and a music box kit. They now have a DIY vinyl gramophone kit that allows you to actually cut your own record, and then play it back.

It’s powered by a hand-crank (ie. your own muscle power) and it can playback 33/45/78 rpm records. I’d imagine that it’s up to you to crank at the correct speed though. If you want your own, it’s a bit pricey at $143, but come on, you get to cut the record yourself!
