Kudos! I think it is wonderful to display phonographs to the public.
 
When doing the waves and sound section of my Physics classes I always started 
with a suitcase Home playing a record.  I showed the students there were no 
wires or hidden batteries.  My challenge to them was to write a paper on how it 
worked.  That sent them to the university library.  A few even became owners 
of acoustical phonographs and I still have contact with one student from 39 
years ago who has a common Victrola I found for him.  He still plays it 
regularly with records he found in Salvation Army.  To my knowledge none became 
phonograph collectors so there must be something about the rest of us that is 
different!
