This is the machine featured at the end of today's episode, a toy phonograph kit made by the Gakken company of Japan (it seems to be missing one piece of plastic? wonder if it was done so it wouldn't obscure the title). It uses a candle as sound recording medium, which if you ask me ("an" ecxpert) is ingenious if a bit misguided, this kit is very hard to get to work, which is probably later they made a different, more well known kit that records onto the side of a plastic cup.
Not the first time these kits appear in anime either, long ago I was sent this screenshot showing the Gakken premium gramophone (i have no idea what this series is)
Anyway, cue the Doof quote
