gramophone

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'old player' is the definition.
'gramophone' can be an answer for 'player' (record player). I'm unsure of the 'old' bit.

'good drive coming to nothing call' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'drive' becomes 'RAM' (RAM drive on a computer).
'coming to' says to put letters next to each other.
'nothing' becomes 'O' (looks like zero - 0).
'call' becomes 'phone' (phone can mean to call by telephone).
'g'+'ram'+'o'+'phone'='GRAMOPHONE'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for gramophone that I've seen is " Record player".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
