Thanks Carl! Always a pleasure to hear from you. The Lakeside 4 minute cylinder I'm playing here in this video is #1110. The stamped information on the rim of Lakeside and Everlasting cylinders can sometimes be difficult to read due to the rather soft fiber core that was used and the condition of the stamper but I believe that is the correct number that I see on the rim.
Thanks for your gracious comments! Always a pleasure to hear from you. And I agree with you about the having a 2 minute setting on the Opera as the earlier Amberola 1A had. I'm sure Edison was trying to move away from 2 minute cylinders by late 1911 when these were introduced. The Opera model was the final external horn phonograph made by the Company and having a 2 minute setting may have been viewed as primitive and pedestrian even in those days. Today it would have been great!
Great phonograph and cylinder! I think this is W.H Thompson, this does not sound like Harry Macdonough. It really sounds like a baritone, and this voice is similar to baritone mr, Thompson. Thanks for posting!
What cylinder number is this on Lakeside? I can't find it in the Indestructible and U-S Everlasting Cylinders book by Nauck and Sutton. Great song and great machine!
Thanks Greg! Always a pleasure to hear from you.
Beautiful machine as the Operas have always been. The Lakeside sounds so clear with very minimal surface noise.
Thanks Randy. Nice to hear that you enjoyed this.
Amazing. just amazing! If Opera machines could play 2 minutes....that would be really awesome! Thanks for posting this!

Hi Doug!!

You must have quite a large house to fit all this in
9:32- ALICE: "WHAT??? I owe the butcher for THREE MONTHS of unpaid bills? RIDICULOUS!!! It was only ONE MONTH."
what is the Number of this Lakeside? great machine, Cabinet & Cylinder
I would pay anyone who makes me a reliable phonograph $150. They seem even better than record players to me...
