I'm not sure but I think those are Edison machines.

Garden variety (for the day) Victrolas. I have one.
buy it new?
Actually, my wife bought it for me for our 25th anniversary. I forget when that was.
Well, like I said I'm not sure but on the machine in the foreground I see the arm but the sound box is not visible in the picture. I think if it were a sound box for vertical cut records it would extend above the arm. Also the record sleeves on the shelves look a bit Edisonesque to me.

Shellac of North America, anyway.
Leave your hi-fi and go see these guys play live.
The first punk rock show I ever went to was Fugazi/Shellac/Make-Up in 1995. I knew Fugazi, but I'd never heard Shellac, and boy was I in for a surprise. Todd's drumming especially just freaked me out in a really good way.
Had to look these guys up but I like this note in the wiki entry for "Excellent Italian Greyhound":
"The band encourages listeners to purchase the vinyl to hear the record as it was intended."
The guy who plays guitar and does most of the singing is Steve Albini, a pretty well-respected recording engineer who's done tons and tons of indie stuff and a pretty good handful of bigger names(Nirvana's In Utero, among others). The bass player Bob Weston runs Chicago Mastering. I don't know what else the drummer does, but if you saw him play, you'd probably say drumming is plenty.
