I like to do most everything myself, but I have a nice little Amberola too...complete with Amberola cancer, which is peeling veneer and splintered molding. Time to call in the wood-working cavalry, methinks.
The question is, does anyone like 1910s music that isn't jazz?
I like Marches, and comic songs, and well it all from this time. I do like jazz, however I like the popular songs and comic sketches, all of them, and I even like the ballads and religious music as well, depends on my mood.
Question, has anyone seen an Edison treadle shaving machine in the wild? I know they were offered, and pretty late (1899 catalog has them.) if someone was using the phonograph for an office aid, they would need a commercial shaver. These shavers look like a treadle sewing machine. I saw a Graphophone treadle shaver at Union one year, and that would be the only one I have ever seen. Also Edison had a treadle phonograph as well, with the Class M topworks, and a seperate ball governor. I think Edison's sister had one. And a photo of 1 is on page 94 ½ of "Edison The Man and His Work" by Gorge S Bryan published in 1926 and the machine is shown with a brown wax on the mandrel and Edison Gold Moulded and Columbia moulded records on the top Photo by Frances E. Armstrong.
