Brings back memories. Even when I was a child, this was already quite outdated.
I saw electrogrammophones, like that that was in our house, which would plug in the back of our Melodiya radio, and even that was on its way out.

However in some rural places those were still in use. Plus they were portable and did not need a power source.

The one time I saw it in action was when I was in the 3rd grade, and our teacher brought this exact one in class to play the song we were supposed to learn during the "singing" lesson.
I even remember the song:"Zhuravel'" (a Crane).

The words are funny:

Povadilsya Zhuravel'
Da po nashu konopel'.

(A crane got into a habit of coming to eat our cannabis plants).

Then in the song the owner of the cannabis promises to clip the crane's wings, so he stops flying in and eat his crop.
