- I would like a victrola, please.

And if I could get it for less than a G, that would be great.
I should preface this answer with a little peak into my way of thinking in general. My facials and massages aside, I would consider myself a minimalist. I often evaluate things based on my need for them. Do I really *need* internet access on my phone? Do I really *need* telephones to be cordless? Is it really *necessary* to own a dishwasher? I don't mind hand washing dishes that much. I am pretty okay with retaining all kinds of obsolete technologies, as my interest in new technologies is meh, whatever.
That being said, above all other outdated items, I would like to bring back the victrola. I think victrolas are just lovely!
I imagine myself in a living room full of antique furniture upholstered with busy fabrics while Edith Piaf or Nina Simone or some other sultry songstress is scratchily playing away. I laze under dusty sun rays on the chaise lounge sketching, or being sketched, in an old leather-bound notebook. I hop up to switch the record holding a cocktail carelessly in my hand.
Also, there is a really fluffy fat cat.
