Psycho-Phone Records

Post by donniej »

I recently had the opportunity to copy a Psycho-Phone record. They seem rather rare but there's quite a bit of discussion about them online. So I thought you might enjoy hearing (a copy) of one of the nicer surviving originals...

Cool share. New to me.

Amusing that the machine promotes and reinforces itself

I don't believe a Psycho Phone cylinder has been found yet - excepting that machine found with a blank.

Interesting video. Thanks for sharing. I have a couple of questions bout this. What's the story about the Victor III with a Cygnet horn? Also, will you reproduce these records and put them up for sale?

I found a collapsed, rotted out Cygnet and thought it would be fun to use it on my Victor. The paint isn't done yet but I'm pretty pleased with it.

That's up to the owner of the disc. I really didn't think there would be a marlet for them so he paid all the molding costs. So it will be up to the owner if further copies are made.
