When voyager launched into space in 1977, it brought the all-famous golden record, but did it bring a record player as well? If so, how is it powered? Hand-crank? Electricity?

There's a stylus and instructions but no "record player".

"how is it powered? Hand-crank? Electricity?"

Wouldn't it need to be tentacle-crank?
