1900s Edison phonograph turning.wav

Stopped in a tiny museum in Kansas and the curator turned on the 1900s Edison photograph for me and let me record the classic humming, scratchy sound of a turntable turning. The steady rhythm had a very "BioShock Infinite" feel to me, and I loved it. Nice to put under music to make it sound old. Recorded on my cellphone and cleaned up in Audacity.
