A gramophone was a device typically associated with 20th century Earth. It used a needle to play audio recoreded on to vinyl discs. It was most often used for the playing of music.
Individual discs could become scratched, which could result in the needle getting "stuck in the groove", resulting in short sections of a song being played over and over again in a loop, At least one ofthe Doctor's favourite records had a definite scratch in it, which was met with with concern by both the Seventh and Eighth Doctors.
Both of these incarnations seemed to prefer listening to music reproduced on an early 20th century gramophone, as one had a prominent place within their console room around the time of the Seventh Doctor's regeneration. (DW: Doctor Who)
The Seventh Doctor, at least while travelling with Benny, had an extensive collection of vinyl records for use on his console room gramophone. (NA: Eternity Weeps)
The Monk once used a gramophone to fake the presence of a religious order in the deserted abbey that served as his base of operations. (DW: The Time Meddler)
A gramophone was used during the Fifth Doctor's visit to Cranleigh Hall in 1925. (DW: Black Orchid)
