Did Walter foresee events in Inner Child?

[Fringified]

At the beginning, when Broyles is discussing the child with Olivia, Walter, and Peter, he asks for Walter's thoughts on the boy. Walter proceeds to request his turntable, or record player.

We know that the turntable later comes into play when Walter dances around crazily. Without knowing anything about the child, what importance did Walter see the turntable would have? Did he possibly foresee that, once he discovered the child was bald, he would need to read the child's thoughts?

Maybe Walter did the same to Peter when he was a boy.

You know, I never caught that. But now that you've brought it to mind, it is suggestive that Walter may have had some clues about the boy. Think he's worked with a child like that before perhaps?
