Re: Amazing and bizarre!
I'm certain that the lamp and mirrors are original to the machine. Decades back I read of a machine similar to this- in that case there was an electric lamp with a jeweled surround and the drive ran through the horn elbow. In both cases the intent was to provide a sparkling cascade of colored lights for dancers. The idea is far older than the Disco Ball- check out the top of this early 1920's Wurlitzer piano: http://www.mechanicalmusicrestoration.c ... re+279.jpg

I agree... if it's not original I vote to leave it as it is.USlakeside wrote:I think its just clever, if gimmicky, engineering for the early 20th century. and I WANT IT.

Another method for us Windows victims:phonophan79 wrote:I'm pretty sure the vast majority of those link screen shots were done by David when he was not even the original poster. This is definately an "amazing and bizarre" phono, so I uploaded the pics from eBay.
Separately, anybody can easily do a screen capture. Here are 5 easy steps.
1) open the page you want to capture a picture and "frame it up" so what you see on the screen is what you want to see.
2) hit CTRL-PRINTSCREEN on your keyboard
3) open windows "paint" (or some kind of image software)
4) CTRL-V to paste your image
5) save your image and then upload it to the board in the thread.
1) Fly the cursor over the picture and Right-click the mouse
2) Select "save picture as"
3) save your image and then upload it to the board in the thread.
