Clausen told WMUR that he found the records while digging through some family artifacts.
"Even though I wasn’t there, I could picture the area where we were," he said.
McLaughlin told Storyful Clausen came to the store and asked for help "because it was a speed most current record players don’t have anymore."
He then posted the video the store's Facebook page adan wrote "His [Clausen] mother and father made them in the 1940s. He didn’t have a record player capable of playing 78 speed, and wanted to get a recording of them" with his phone.
"It was the first time he heard his parents’ voices in 40 years … we’re not usually open today, but we’re glad we had our doors open. Cherish the moments with the ones you love," the caption read.
