If it was a gift for his mother as he confirmed in 1956, then why did he give it instead to Ed? I accept either way that Ed got it.

I don't think he 'gifted' it to Ed Leek !
As you said, the Presleys had no record player.
Elvis took it to his friend's house [Ed Leek] in order to play it !
In the end, it got left there & forgotten.

but Elvis told him, "keep it, but don't let anyone know about it".
My guess is, judging by all this, he played it to Ed and then just left it there.
PS: Doesn't Elvis mention this in the MDQ session? Can't remember what he said about it now?

Never have, never will. I wrote years ago on the TMMB site the trans from an Elvis interview in 56 where he was asked specifically if it was a birthday present and Elvis says it wasn't a birthday present.
Now, a 20th wedding anniversary present is something else.
