Archaic, perhaps, but regardez les "ancient" sound effects 
still being used in radio commercials today e.g. the sound 
of a needle being dragged across a record, a mechanical 
cash register making the "ka-ching" sound, a phone ring 
with a mechanical bell, the sound of a radio being tuned 
quickly across the dial, a typewriter, etc.

BTW:  Many Club DJ's still prefer vinyl and turntables.
