No, it's not for playing hill and dale Pathes or Diamond Discs, it is a 
wall mounted record player for 33s and 45s.  This seems to be the 
neatest thing since the PhonoCar (you remember, the VW bus or jeep which 
played a record by driving around and around it).  Ass the info 
mentions, it does save counter space.

There was another vertical player back in the 1930s, a portable that was 
carried around like a briefcase by Jehovah's Witnesses and would play 
one of those 12-inch Judge Rutherford Watchtower 78s when placed down on 
the ground.  There was an ARSC presentation about it a few years ago.
