It is a turn table (does that count as a gramophone?) that I bought ~ 5 - 6 y.o.  The old gramophone that my dad had growing up was working okay till ~ 2014, but it was on its way out and not worth moving it to the US.  My mom made me give it away to an antique store in BLR.  

I don't know what a turntable is.

Turntable is the basic record player without built-in speakers or amplifier. You will have to connect it to speakers or a sound system 

 

Hmm .. I well, mine has its own speakers.  Not high-end or anything, but does the job.

I have something like this.  Plays vinyl, cassettes and CDs.  Can digitize to a flash drive too.

 

 

 

Crosley CR42D-PA Lancaster 3-Speed Turntable with Radio, CD/Cassette Player, Aux-in and Bluetooth, Paprika

 

 

I am seeing it for the first time here in the image you posted. This looks like a mix of many devices as you mentioned and much advance. It is not the typical old gramophone which we used to call which was very basic and had single functionality. 

 

That's why I got surprised that how come your gramophone lasted so long.

Vintage looks w/ modern tech. Not a bad all in one! ... My dad had a good collection of vinyl, which I utilized. He studied in US so had a few from there too including soundtracks of 007 films

yes dad had one and a huge vinyl collection almost around 40,000

OMG 40,000? Is that a record of sorts?

 

Aren't these vinyl records supposed to highly inflammable?

I vaguley remember my grandfather telling a 5yr old me something of the sort when I used to try and get close to his collection of vinyls. But it could also be to shoo me away.
