Philco used a beam of light but you still used a needle. You can read about it here:

: I have a news paper from 1942 with an advertisement that says you can play music on a beam of light,no needles to change. This seems to me to be rather advanced for 1942. It is a Philco model 42-1008. Is this ad in error? It is from a local furniture store of the time. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
