Phonograph CD Player by Yong Jieyu & Ama Xue Hong Bin

A CD player was disassembled and the components rearranged to suit the layout of a phonograph. The speakers are put below the trumpet loudspeaker for amplification. The wooden box is made slightly more spacious then the electrical PCB board needed to achieve bass resonance. The laser pointer is shifted to the top allowing the spin of the CD to be clearly shown. By bringing back a familiar nostalgic form of a phonograph, the design seeks transport the user back to the golden age of phonographs in early 1900s where sound broadcasting had a magical feel.

This is an excellent idea.

The only concerns would be control surfaces and the laser.
Will it bounce out of the area of the disc and reader?

Very nice, I would love to own one, maybe with support for
storage and selection of a large number of cds.

Old vinyl jukeboxes come to mind.
