This 1965 Telephone Toy Is A Record Player

Did you know about the Mattel-O-Phone? It's been around since the 60s and seemingly has infinite amounts of different themed records from back then. So hopefully I can pick up some peanuts or barbie ones to sample in the future! This is my first time checking it out, so started with trying to modify it to make it easier to record. I think it needs some more fixing, but I did a starting jam atleast. Will put samples on magpiestuff.
Also thank you for supporting me and checking out magpiepedals! :)

Opens up one of the weirdest contraptions in history, hits a beat and proceeds to make a banger..
Love this stuff.

[@humanwaveform]

the sequence about the bunny rabbit, kinda haunting

[@thespazdragon]

I just about lost it when you started scratching on the toy, but then it started repeating itself like it was totally into the jam and my brain melted! Very nicely done.

[@carlklitzke9455]

Techmoan just did a video on a similar mechanism. The comments in that video had a lot of info on Mattel and their use of discs like this in toys.

[@bonemar66]

Magpie needs Techmoan's toys. He had one that plays cards with bird noises. I think he even had a magpie one.

The winds of grace are always blowing but one needs to raise the sail

[@dillipphunbar7924]

This has to be my favourite pairing todate; Mattel -O-Phone and The Magpie. Spacewurm territory! Now run it through your multi-airtube-device/pedal

[@hamster_of_the_apocalypse]

that's a lot of whiskers

[@AndreijRublev]

The magic of the faulty medium. So many good harsh/lo-fi sounds!

[@guitfidle]

That thing sounds delightfully demented, I love it!!

[@ryejack]

Loved the jam session with the phone, particularly when you scratch the record. Amazing!

[@sethtrain7331]

the little scratches!

[@humanwaveform]

tfw when the magpie starts scratching the toy turntable

[@nullbyt]

Somehow attaching this to some of the other tubed instruments you've made 🤔

[@RaverOperatorGeeza]

Great tune!!! Out there, but within my out there!!

[@EdgetonWolfeDrezwellington]

In all sequences of these sounds in distorted audio, creates a sorta memory of my childhood. The sound of teachers and people in the community. The 80s were an eclectic sound warp of knowledge and creative sounds. This misconstrued telephonic instrument pushes those memories of the past. Well done, my friend.

[@daccrowell4776]

Oh, hell...I had one of these as a kid! Never succeeded at getting it open, though. And I don't quite recall it sounding so horrifically interesting!
I do wonder who was responsible for the audio tracks, though...it has a bit of a Bruce Haack kind of feel.

[@VarionJimmy]

DJ Mattel is in da phone 😁👍👍👍

[@rambles8346]

Tiny records are fun right now. Techmoan went into some fun devices similar to this.

[@keithfulkerson]

There's a movie called Session 9 that used the warbly sound to good, creepy effect.

[@georgewhite1972]

I watched that film a few nights ago. It was creepy as fuck!!

[@butchlauer]

I'm one year older than that Mattel toy and I feel like I often produce the same non- sensicle results. 😅

[@nullbyt]

Theres a secret song on the original Tool ep/lp opiate that was pressed in a similar way being right next to the other grooves so depending on where you drop the needle one of 2 songs will play

[@ChllBlck]

With this and the gakken toy record maker a lofi talkbox could happen

[@ayden_woodhouse6269]

I'M A BUNNY RABBIT 😈
I'm fuzzy everywhere 💅

[@BobcatWolfenstein]

This is what nightmares are made of

[@powaytheband]

you're my hero

[@unmanaged]

That metal bar is your speed control ....

[@BinauralBae]

BoC called and want their phone back

[@InventorZahran]

How can they call without their phone?

[@BinauralBae]

@@InventorZahran It's BoC they'll find a way

[@TheOffensiveSenses]

I'm like 95% sure that thing is haunted

[@georgewhite1972]

This is some seriously cursed shit right here!

[@thedude8046]

Cool stuff man, never seen that before.

[@capnskustomworks]

I’m on it!!!

[@skyerobinson5756]

fnaf phone

[@marcovoltage]

At first I thought I started a TechMoan video, because of the subject 😅

[@-thetapestream-channel1808]

Maybe the belt is spinning in the wrong position (a larger one) and turn faster....

[@aaronboothe283]

When can we reach out to Jack White to get some custom pressings of records for this?

[@toneyisaiah3556]

Made by Mattel
Toy Co.

[@beyshore_]

not to be confused with a metallophone

[@nanothrill7171]

very NegativLand

[@JackNiles]

My dog liked it

[@user-vy5yn4wm9j]

Spooky shit

[@brianbjur4796]

wonky: skaky or unsteady (aka problematically weird)

[@stephpicher]

But will it talkbox?

[@snuffamericanstyle]

I hear that magpie pedals are now NATO approved.

[@PaulTheSkeptic]

Possibly a bad resistor? I'm not an expert in electronics but sounds like it could be that. And you as a circuit bender should know to put a pot in there if you find it.

[@BatmanWangChung]

Suh dude

[@liltuck_007]

Hey I have a cassette tape with a lot of acidy sounds if you want it you can have it

[@rylanscott410]
