[dorkbotdc-blabber] ISO: Gramophone + other dead media players

[Dorkbot DC]

Thanks, Lorne! Yeah, videodisc is a bit too moderne. I'm thinking 
pre-1969 dead media. The projector is cool but I already have one of those.

Also, yeah, the dead media list is a great resource that I've plundered 
many a time.

Appreciate your response!

Alberto
