I'd love to have a cylinder machine and recording head, but the machines are expensive, recorders are impossible to find, and the cylinders take up space and are expensive. I have a 1917 victrola which cost me $350, but the records are like $1 each, if not free.
This is absolutely intriguing because this phonograph has survived both wars and pretty much all of the event's of the late 19th and the whole 20th kind of unnerving if you think about it
Great machine, some day I hope to find one. I have triumphs, but these are neat. I agree, Dorothy Kingsley sure sounds like Ada Jones. The last record is classic! It's surprising how many notable music composers of the day wrote those. I've heard it was a quick buck because they always sold.
Fantastic information and interesting too. I envy Americans wonderful machines Available in Australia limited aged machines plenty of gramophones but phonographs few I am trying to get parts almost near impossible in Tasmania thanks again for sharing 🇦🇺👍
It strikes me as remarkable that this early machine can run up to the 160-r.p.m. speed that was used in the black-wax era. Is this usual in pre-1902 Edison machines? My old Model A Standard (c. 1903) would do so, but I have had no experience of any earlier models.
Pretty much all cylinder phonographs can run at 160 plus rpm because the design did not change much from the early machines to the later ones because the design was so simple. The only thing you need to do to change speed is too move the felt on the governer
Glad I could help you rescue that treasure,Doug.
I realize Im pretty off topic but do anybody know a good site to watch newly released movies online ?
@August Archer Flixportal :)
@Brixton Derek Thank you, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I appreciate it !
@August Archer Happy to help :)
I have one of these machines (but not this early), Still plays great after 120 years!

A very nice machine, it plays nicely. I still produce at times some of the 1889-1895 selections.
I enjoy watching your videso.I'm glad you share with all of us, it's very generous of you, not everyone would do it .
Extremely nice machine and fantastic selection of brilliant cylinders
Just bought my first 78 recordplayer. I am already hooked. And checkin' YT. Thanks and cheers from Holland.

It's also outlived everyone confirmed to have been alive at manufacture
What a nice early machine, it does play really nice.

I'm not sure if I like cylinders or vinyls more lol.
Can you play a brown wax cylinder on this machine that would be pretty neat?!

What a wonderful find and addition to your collection. I have an amberola machine. It is my only Edison machine. I enjoyed the records. Gary
Wonderful

I was referring to the first song
how much would the spring motor be worth?
Wow realy early machine
For sure 1897/98. The 1896 had the Capps motor and governor. A little different.
1877 is when Edison invented the phonograph. This is only a device 19 years later..... wow. When were the cylinders recorded?
Do you have any scott Joplin cylinders as love to hear that on its era phonograph
Scott Joplin never made any record recording but he did make a few piano rolls for player pianos that can be found on RUclips
Do you have queen victorias recording?
No that is in a museum
I subscribed to your video
I love this song but i like it better sung by Billy Murray
This is a great song and I hope it gets popular again
A Model T? A Model T WHAT?
Model T Ford car. 😄
