Many of the free plug-ins available (look for a continuing series here) are frankly not worth the disc space they occupy. iZotope's Vinyl certainly is. A simple VST, RTAS, MAS or AU plug-in that recreates the sound of old vinyl (and shellac I guess) by adding noise and filtering the audio. I've used it to do all kinds of tricks, including the old "voice on the telephone" sound. I really like the ability to adjust individual parameters to get effects far beyond the intended purpose. Using automation to "morph" in & out of an effect like this would be interesting too. iZotope's other products (particularly Ozone which I use) are unfortunately not free but still well worth a look.
