British artist Simon Elvins designed the above record player, which is made entirely out of paper and which is powered by a hand crank; amplification comes through the cone that's placed on the record's groove. Not sure how it compares, sonically, to the CardTalk all-cardboard record player, but surely there's some DJ out there who's had the genius idea of using one of each as her decks, right? It would just have to be at a really quiet bar.

BFD. My girlfriend's kid made an iPhone out of shrinky dinks. Worked better than the Apple version, too.
Is this what indie rock fans use to listen to shitty sounding indie rock records? This would produce the most shitty sound imaginable, thereby increasing the "cred" of said indie rock fan 100-fold.
I'm sure some vinyl snob somewhere still thinks this sounds better than cds...
It's all pops and buzzes, baby.
Man, I made one of those as a science fair project 20 years ago.
