Thank you Dan I am keen for this machine to get as much publicity as possible in the hope that somebody may know anything about it. At present it seems to be the only one in the world ?????
And how did it get to poor little Western Australia (well it is bigger than Texas)

Re: Daily Automatic Phonograph
I found a few of images, one being an advertisement which might prove useful. They did say the dates were 1927, 1928, and 1929 but I don't where they got that unless it is on the ad backside or something. The site did not have any information other than these images. It appears they are a bit different than the one you show in your pictures and it is. And one, or all of them, are coin-ops.

Re: Daily Automatic Phonograph
That's a very interesting video demonstration! I wonder where the constant knocking sound is coming from?

Re: Daily Automatic Phonograph
The ticking sound probably comes from my badly cut gears. The originals were pot metal and so badly degraded as to be unserviceable.
The slower knock comes from the drive. The motor spindle runs with a friction drive onto a large (about 14") wheel with a rubber tyre - (an O ring) I haven't yet obtained a suitable ring and have used a length of round section rubber glued to make a circle. The bump is the join. I hope to improve on that shortly.

Re: Daily Automatic Phonograph
The Daily was discussed also in this earlier thread:

Re: Daily Automatic Phonograph
Thank you Silvertone
The machine from the earlier post is very likely also a Daily with an earlier mechanism. It resembles the 1926 patent 1,599,876
Daily was granted at least 4 patents for similar mechanisms
It's good to know that there is at least one other Daily out there somewhere.

Re: Daily Automatic Phonograph
Does anyone know whether Daily produced a series of four records that could be played in order to provide a longer listening experience?
The Symphonion Eroica music box had three separate disc mechanisms and a series of special 3 disc record sets to play on it... just wondering...

Re: Daily Automatic Phonograph
I’m at a friend’s house and for years I’ve seen this coin operated music box. I heard it and admired it, that was that. We got to talking the day after this thread was posted and he reminded me that he had a Daily. “What!’, I said. I never saw it. He told me that I had, but just its cabinet. The mechanism disintegrated years earlier and he repurposed the case.
This may be the only surviving Daily Automatic full size cabinet!
James.
PS: I'm glad that I had the chance to photograph the cabinet and share it in this thread. He told me that he's just sold it to a local collector.
