What a curious thing.

I know it's a weight machine as I looked inside it but what surprised me was inside it also was something that looked like a record player if that makes sense.

At a wild stab in the dark I would hazard a guess the tone arm on the record player is linked to the scale so that different weights line up with different tracks on the record which gives it its speaking effect.

Hopefully there is a max limit where the last track is just loads of screaming asking you to get off the scale and insulting you.
 
Aye that's what I kinda of thought also nice interesting item, tried to find out about it last night on the internet and found it was a company in Glasgow that made it and they did all different ones but couldn't find a picture of this one though.
 
There are too many to list but I'm trying to get away from the 'fat' train of thought and these few are off the top of my head without googling and showing my age now.

A Hundred Pounds Of Clay - Gene McDaniels
Sixteen Tons - Tennessee Ernie Ford
Papa Was A Rolling Stone - The Temptations
Them Heavy People - Kate Bush
Stoned Love - The Supremes

I'm not going to put anymore up now :)

Then of course we have the 'play on words' mode of thought.

My Weigh - Frank Sinatra
Kilo Queen - Queen

and so on....................................... 👍
