Later on, in the scene where Finch_Hatton plays Mozart to monkeys he starts the Record Player by means of a cord that starts the playing. Since the events took place in 1911-13, such actions where not possible in mechanical "Gramophones". There was no electricity in the jungle, for a start. Those machines were powered by a hand-crank as were the watches and volume was set at recording time, not at playback.
