Video Discs
Before there were video tapes they had those huge discs (not records). What are they called?
I think they played like records, I know that they were in a big plastic case. They also used a needle like a Record Player.
Laser video disks,this link will explain them some and it mentions the phonograph-type needle to play a vinyl disc
