I built a little "turntable emulator" once that allows you to speed up, kill power, do back spins and scratches, switch between 78, 45, 33 and 16 (I'm showing my age I know :).
Can you get it to emulate various ways in which records are bent?
E.g. In 2002, I bought a Nat King Cole for 1 CAD (0.45 £; 0.70 ¤) in a garage sale in Îles-de-la-Madeleine (easternmost Canada) across the street from my grandparents' house, but it got stored in the car for several days midsummer while we were travelling back. Part of the disc acts as a ramp that makes the needle perform a glorious jump into the air and then slam back into the groove. The duration of the tracks on this records thus depend heavily on whether it's played with a radial arm vs a linear arm.
