I would really love to see a video of the sonde with its disk playing !
How big were the chutes that let these down?  As a youngster i would have gone absolutely nuts seeing one of these chutes coming down.
It would be like cool treasure from heaven. But i would probably have shown the sonde itself to someone adult to see what to do with it.

The only other sonde-type thing i have is a sononbuoy and soon to get its WW2 receiver, ARR-3. I noticed the transmission standards were
very close to FM broadcast and it occurred to me, i could have the sonobuoy as a "wireless broadcaster" sending music to the ARR-3, music,
not the sound of some submarine imploding.
