I never understood why modern phonographs had the lid open, it doesn't make them louder unlike the Edisons and Victrolas of old and is just inconvenient.

Easier to change the disc?

And also nudge the arm past the inevitable skips and scratches. Phonographs in those days generally needed to be running in the open air to minimize aggravation. Even the drum table in this post would have been kept in the open position with the player slid out and accessible when it was in use.

Good point! I'm new to vinyl. Still on my first player, bought at an auction.
