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.
