Originally sold with "10 melodies on 5 unbreakable records', the Fisher Price Music-Box Record Player harks back to a simpler time — where five simple songs were enough to bring a smile to the faces of children acorss the land. But even by the standards of the day, listening to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star over and over must have become a touch boring, despite the technological marvel.
Luckily, Instructables user fred27 has come to the rescue of these bored '70s kids using some 21st century technology. A bit late, maybe, but better late than never.
By reverse engineering the coding of the original records, fred27 has been able to create a computer program that will encode your modern music (it's all just noise to me, etc) into a format that can be output to either a CNC mill, or now a 3D printer. You can get your hands on 'Fred's Fisher Price Reord Editor' from the Instructables page.
Expect to see the price of these little music boxes rise on eBay — what better way to ensure your kids have a decent taste in music when they're older than a bit of Sabbath in their bed time music box?
