The sweet spot for home turntable enthusiasts on a budget seems to be the $200 mark. This might be the best of the bunch.

One can only imagine the sake-fueled club hopping that led to the development of the Seiko Frequency drum machine watch.

The Oktomat Eight Eyed Camera

Oktomat
The Oktomat is the photographic equivalent of an octopus, except that it's not a sea creature and isn't waterproof. It features eight lenses that capture a series of images on a single 35mm film frame. An entire sequence takes about two and a half seconds to shoot, which is enough to capture very simple animated scenes with the classic "Lomo" look. 

Everything about this little $40 camera is simple -- the top-mounted viewfinder is a fold-down piece of plastic, you can't change film exposure, and the lens is fixed focus. But since your animated sequences are captured on standard 35mm film, you can get them processed anywhere.
