Amsterdam collection from 1963

[gramophoneshane]

I came across this interesting Pathé film on YouTube showing a talking machine collection from 1963 in Amsterdam.
I'm not sure if it's been shared before, but it shows a variety of machines may of us will probably never have the opportunity to see and hear in person.
I think my favourite is the Lioret phonograph of French manufacture.
Bit of a shame the record appears to be scratched (although possibly the repeating was caused by moving the machine).

I can't help but wonder where the machines in this fantastic collection are now.

Fascinating. That was very well photographed and edited.

I have seen a small part of this in an old documentary on Edison. About halfway through I recognize the tune, Oh How I love That Girl!". Thanks for posting.

Thanks for sharing this video. I have to wonder where any of these machines are today. There were some very interesting models.

After watching that clip this morning, Youtube's algorithm suggested another one from 1964: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zRXgPX ... Path%C3%A9

Thanks Rene. This collection was in Belgium apparently.
I had to laugh at the first Edison phonograph playing a 4 min cylinder on a machine set up to play 2 min records.
And yet another Lioret too.
No wonder they don't seem to turn up today. They were all collected back in the 60's lol.
Thanks for posting the link.

Actually, Lioret phonographs do turn up today, there's a nice one for sale on my website: http://www.musicaltreasuresofmiami.com/ ... honos.html
