Actually I have an old HDD platter somewhere in the shed, its a MONSTER, will post a photo if I can find it.

The sound out of that thing is truly horrible, but I guess, just for the gimick of it and the target market of being a thing for kids to play with, it had to be cheap.  But wow - the sound examples he played were perhaps the most horrible I have ever head in terms of speed fluctuations etc!

Still, an interesting little thing, historically speaking.

I remember we used to have a "Bag of laughs" which when you pressed it, it played a short record of over-the-top laughing, and used this exact same concept
