NO 4 Soundbox On Cylinder Phonograph

Post by 12jslater »

Look at this sad excuse for a 2 minute phonograph reproducer I can only imagine the pain of someone placing the no 4 with a steel needle down on a brown wax cylinder.

Thanks, Jake

Aside from that soundbox everything else looks good

I wonder how it would sound playing indistructables? Granted it would wear the hell out of them but even so.

It might work with a Pathé stylus...

As I recall, that particular reproducer was only used on the AW. (The only surviving fragment of the second Multiplex Grand also used that).

Speaking of which, are there any photos of the Multiplex Grand?

Here's a thread that shows an original Columbia flyer illustrating the Multiplex Grand (scroll down to near the bottom of the page):
