- This is a fascinating tour of a private vintage phonograph collection owned by Kurt Nauck of Nauck's Vintage Records in Spring, Texas USA. Kurt's knowledge of these machines and their history makes this tour all the more interesting. Enjoy!
Vintage machines depicted in this video:
1904 Edison Triumph Cylinder Phonograph
1920 Edison Diamond Disc Machine
1927 Victor Orthophonic Phonograph
1918 Pathé Machine
1926 Violano-Virtuoso

There's nothing like collecting items of entertainment. I love old phonograph/78's, but my specialty is radio's and TV's. Every time I look at these pieces I think of people of the day laughing and smiling to them. They're items that evoke the same reaction today.
I’ve bought records from Kurt many times. Nice guy, very knowledgeable
The violano-virtuoso is simply un believable!!! Congrats!!
being a collector myself with about 200 machines I am just amazed at the space he got! oh, I'm sorry! not about the machines you ask? well, I have been collecting and repairing/restoring phonographs for 32 years in that time I pretty much have seen it all so I'm not easily impressed that often anymore but it still happens but not with these phono's they are pretty standard, and since I live in Europe pathé machines like the one shown here do pop up from time to time the automatic player that did impress me.
Had a great time with Kurt and his wonderful collection during last May.
Gotta love these inventions. Things are big enough that you can actually SEE how it works. Mechanical and Electro/mechanical music and sound stuff is a favorite of mine.
The Victor Orthophonic machine sounds rich and had great fidelity!
The last turntable I had was a Technics. The Victor is still quite amazing for its time.
Repent and trust in Jesus. Hes the only way. We deserve Hell because weve sinned. Lied, lusted stolen, etc. But God sent his son to die on the cross and rise out of the grave. We can receive forgiveness from Jesus. Repent and put your trust in him.
John 3:16
Romans 3:23❤😊😊❤❤
it is amazing how phonographs from that time worked and how good their sound is.
Love the 1932 Ben Selvin Columbia of “Of Thee I Sing” you played on the Victor Orthophonic.
The late and expensive acoustic players were pretty close to the first electric record players.
I bought dozens of records, mostly 78's, from Kurt Nauck back in the minute, but I never knew what he looked like until now.
Great collection beautifully presented.
Just great. Thanks, Kurt!
Fantastic! Thank you for this impressive tour.
What a wonderful musical saloon! Thank you for sharing!
Great collection of historical musical instruments. I'm currently doing a complete "Frame Off" restoration of a 1950s Rock-Ola Juke Box. Dismantled it down to ever last "nut, bolt, and screw", and totally refurbishing all the parts. This will ultimately be about a three month project. Alton Higgins Hiawassee, GA.
I love the Credenza sound. Unbelievable for 1925 and hard to understand...An acoustic machine for an electric recording...
WOW! Thanks for the tour--fascinating!
Harry Beavers You're welcome -- glad you enjoyed the tour :)
Love your collection ! Thanks so much for sharing with all of us..........
Beutiful piece of history
Fantastic !
super superb video ❤
Very nice collection!!!
Thank You! That was GREAT!!!
He feels like a patient teacher and some of it can be very dry without a demo. To those of us who are looking at needles and thinking about how clean the records are, we sometimes forget that starting the fire starts with a lesson. I have friends who would enjoy this mini tour in person and I hope you each had a good time. Now, have you since purchased or inherited a 78 player? ;D
Magnifique enregistrement 😊
That "paper cone" is, in every important respect as far as sound goes, a modern speaker. The only difference is a modern speaker is vibrated by a magnet and coil, while this one is vibrated mechanically. In the part you can see, they are identical. You could take a modem speaker and attach it to that transfer "wire" and it would do the exact same thing.
Fantastic collection!
Awesome stuff! I wish I owned these. Love them!
I owned one of these, and yes they did sound better and played louder then any other acoustic machine, when I demo'ed it for people they could not believe it wasn't a electronic phonograph.
That is awesome!
AMAZING HISTORY LESSON....
Very nice video.
Gorgeous gramophone collection!! Congratulations!!
So much fun!!! Simpler technology.
Hi Mr. Kurt! It's me who get so fantastic Harmony records (audio) from You ) Now I saw so fantastic thing You have in Your house. Thank You for those Harmony and maybe someday I can say thanks in person. Bixbix81
You are always welcome my friend - come on over!
Thanks to Paul and Kurt for a wonderful trip back in time!!! Ben Harris
I LOVE THIS!
Hello, superbe collection, very beautiful ,amicalement ,Roger
Spectacular!
3:50 ❤️❤️❤️ I love it!
...SENCILLAMENTE HERMOSO....VER ALGO MECÁNICO...DANDO A LUZ EL SONIDO....Y LA VOZ DEL AMO....ESUCHANDOLA...
0:46 I feel like marching now!
Kurt, really enjoyed your Mills Violano. Difficult to find one that plays well. Love the idea of your new Buddy system.
I wish you the best. Rick from Duncanville.
Hey there Rick, it's time you paid us a visit! Surely you drop down to Houston from time to time - we're just off of I-45.
Amazing. Now I know where the records I bid on came from.
Wonderful
You're actually supposed to close the lid of the victrola record player; it will get rid of the scratching noise the needle makes during playback.
3:51 There was someone else on YT who has an HMV machine with, I believe, an even bigger horn than the that Victor machine. I believe it was made in the early 1930s, when RCA-Victor had moved on to making their top-of-the-line Victrolas with electronic pickups.
So interesting to see the Salesman's sample of the orthophonic horn, that is a First. A big thank you to America's no. 1 record man.

I'm blushing - thank you Bruce. ;-^)
4:54 Looks like that reproducer could use a back flange replacement!
When you have an intact reproducer that sounds great, you don't mess with it! You can always replace it if it disintegrates.
@@naucksvintagerecords sounds great but would sound better!! lol. Still your collection is wonderful Kurt!
Oh so nice
Magnifiques enregistrements😊
I would love to hear some records from the late 40 to eqarly sixtys played on the machine. After hearing all the machines I prefer the wood horn to metal
The Victrola predates RCA's buyout of the brand, and the factory at Camden, NJ by 2 years. The Victor Talking Machine Co. used the Dog & Gramophone logo under licence from The Gramophone Company Ltd. of England. In 1929, the British company that owned the Dog & Gramophone logo(trademark) should have withdrawn(revoked) Victor's licence to use the trademark when Victor was sold to RCA. The record being played was made by the US parent company, Columbia Graphophone Co. Inc. which had established a British division. The US parent company failed but the British division thrived and became a company in its own right. In 1938 the now-independent Columbia Graphophone Co. Ltd. of England merged with The Gramophone Company to form Electric & Musical Industries Ltd.(EMI). The two brand-names forming the flagship labels of the new company.
10:30 When I was a kid, I had a "Bozo the Clown" pull-string doll that had a cone like that, and a multi-spiral-record built into it, so it played different phrases at random.
Olá, boa noite; é incrível a tecnologia antiga, também os moves que era montado os aparelhos, são incrível, muito bem feito com a maior perfeição as montagens dos moves de madeiras bem trabalhada, ainda dou os meus parabéns, pela tecnologia antiga e toda obra feita da mesma perfeição, que ficou para sempre,
Kurt ! That's fabulous ! What is that song playing on the Columbia label between 7:00-10:05 on this vid ?
1932 HITS ARCHIVE: Of Thee I Sing - Ben Selvin (Rondoliers, vocal)
Columbia 2598-D, The Knickerbockers (pseudonym for Ben Selvin's Orch. as Ian mentioned): Of Thee I Sing/Who Cares? It's my favorite record!
I have an Edison cylinder phonograph with about 50 blue amberol cylinders. It plays fantastically well, but all seem to be brass band marches. Lol.
I've got some scarce Phyllis Dare records that have not been recorded and posted on RUclips by anyone else (I'm farely certain). All I need is a gramophone to play them, and I'll hopefully upload them one day.
11:24 I started listening to that because of Tiny Toon Adventures.
A couple of my favorite self-opionated factoids..... 6:30 The Bose Acoustic Wave CD player claims to have a 6.5 foot folded horn (I wonder where they got that idea and why did they add another 6 inches?). Unfortunately the Bose horn is made of plastic, not the wood or metal of the "true" Orthophonics. I noticed that Kurt is playing an electrically recorded Columbia Viva-Tonal record on the Victor Orthophonic Credenza. In my opinion the Viva-Tonal recordings were superior to Victor's VE recordings. Especially the the Paul Whiteman Potato Head records, where Columbia used the best quality of shellac discs for richness and clarity of sound.
I treasure the four large Orthophonic Victrolas that I have, I would have more if I had a larger living room. My only Columbia Viva-Tonals are two of the 163 portable which produce an amazing sound.
May I ask what songs the violano virtuoso was playing in this video?
Polyphon
That was Csardas by Monti
都很喜欢，芝加哥演奏家更是叹为观止！
Here's the translation of the above: "I like them all, and the Chicago performers are even more amazing!"
wonderful collection i ve got 19,000 shellacs :-)
How about diamond discs
Usually when I ask that question I get the what the hell are you talking about look.
i am stuck at 1000
I love this video, folks! Where is this place? I wanna visit it one day...
Spring, Texas. You can contact the owner through his website here: 78rpm.com/. Best wishes!
Thanks! I loved your video. I learned a lot about Phonographs. Cheers. 😊
7:03 Is there a way I can get this record?
Damn great collection. I only have 1 gramophone in my gonna be huge in future collection. How much have you spent on gramophones so far. But seriously you have a wonderful collection
How many 78s do you have.
And diamond disc for that matter. I have 38 of em. And about 200 78s albums
@@madbear3512 My inventory typically fluctuates between 40 and 70 thousand at a time. We usually have several thousand Diamond Discs on hand. Same for cylinders.
14:00 I knew a system with three violins what will pushed to a rotating bows.
That is a Hupfeld Phonoliszt Violina. Marvelous machine, though in spite of how it appears, it only plays a single string on each violin. The other strings are just for show.
Hmmm, kinda predates Atec's Voice of the Theatre.
Ever try a 12" behin one of them horns?
👍❤️
When Camden, NJ, wasn't a dump.
That Pathé tho
What were all the songs?
The song playing on the victor credenza is Of Song I Thee by The Knickerbockers (actually Ben selvins orchestra under a pseudonym) released on Columbia in 1932
And on the Edison triumph is the record March by Edison Millitary March
Класс хочу такой .
Whats thevsong at 13:16
Csardas by Monti
Neat, how backwards we have gone as a people.
The lady with the glasses is quite attractive. 😀 👓 ❤
I have over 100 of those old records . I’m looking for a place to sell. Dose anyone know ? Please let me know.
Me lol
And , really, Kurt...
Demonstrating a Victor Orthophonic machine with a Columbia record?
That'a a mismatch made in the hot place way down below!
See my comment above for some history on the brands.
;-^) You know I'm a rebel....
어 메이징~~ 감사 합니다..
Paul my job was making phonographs, my name is Guido Claerhout, I live in Belgium? I am an expert in repairing those machines?
Everything until electrical pickups was lipstick on a pig. Orthophonic is just a lighter reproducer still using a steel needle to chew up your old records, albeit a little less quickly. Okay for early acoustic records, save your electrically recorded discs for the stereo. Do not play Hit of the Weeks on a Victrola. 🐸
Phonograph, that starts at 6:00 looks like Credenza. Is it?
Sorry, it is, I see now. Great thing! I use to have one. You can hear it over 300 yards :)
The Edison Triumph (as with so many cylinder phonographs on RUclips) is playing too fast. Ed Meeker's spoken introduction should not sound like a Saturday morning cartoon character!
That is true, Martin! Thanks for the admonition.
Kurt,Do you remember Big Lou from the Wayne Nj show? You gave me 50 bucks for a Black Patti record sleeve and some donuts.? Sorry it was a Black Swan.
:-)
Так хотел бы попасть в америку я там бы такие вещи делал
The translation of the above (Russian) is: "So I would like to go to America, I would do such things there"
in Italia non si capisce niente !
Beautiful collection but very bad camera work !
Nice general idea, but the constant motion of the handheld camera
gives me severe motion sickness.
Why can't people just hold the thing steady for a bit,
then smoothly move it to change the point of interest
and hold it steady again ???
b o o h o o
Suggestion, use a tripod. David O'Banion is quite correct.
You two are right. Perhaps it would help to know that this wasn't a planned shoot. Rather it was shot spur of the moment using my Samsung Galaxy 7 cellphone, for crying out loud.
Why does she laugh all time???
The delight of wonderment
Unwanted laughing.
Not as good as my 1956 AUTOCYCLE
Are they all drunk?
I don’t think so
It would have been better if there wasn’t so much talking and comments in the background.
Prachtige muziek dozen en pick up's, maar wat slecht gefilmd!!
I can't watch this. The video is recorded in stereo, which is normally the best way to record sound, but it sounds like the sound is spinning around my head in my headphones. Put it together with the way too giggly woman who needs to put a sock in it, and the voices being drowned out by the music it makes this unwatchable. Shame too.
