 SCP-537 bears the appearance of a completely normal, albeit tattered, gramophone, with no visible deviations or abnormalities. SCP-537 is without a doubt intelligent, and demonstrates the ability to both see and hear. It is not yet known how. It communicates by playing songs. SCP-537 is able to play any song that can be found on an existing vinyl record, and can do so at will. SCP-537 plays songs all the way through, and will never interrupt a song unless its needle is forced up, in which case, it will resume the song from the point it left off at the next time it is able to play music.
