That is very interesting.The photo is so clear.In fact maybe you could PM me the address or phone # so I can buy everything in the window....... .One of the cutest "German" posters is two little kids and a dog perring into the Gramophone shop window.It is so cute.I'm sure you know the one I mean.

In October a new singer is in town, I think Caruso is his name. What do you think, shall I buy a ticket?

Re: Featured Phonograph № 65
What an interesting machine!
I'd agree with others on the finish. I think it looks quite good as it is, untouched.
It's interesting to me that a machine like this designed for commercial use has only a single spring motor? I suppose they only cared that it had enough power to play one side before someone would again wind and drop in anothter coin? Is the spring strong enough to play more than a side without a winding?
Thanks alot for posting.

Re: Featured Phonograph № 65
It was intentionally underpowered and has a hard time to play two complete sides. The crank was locked during play to prevent new winding. For correct operation (automatic end stop of turntable) the records had to have an inner groove ("Auslaufrille").Valecnik wrote: It's interesting to me that a machine like this designed for commercial use has only a single spring motor?
