Re: Columiba Multiplex Grand
Hi,
This upper works and jig-sawed cylinder were NOT really 'Multiplex.' The details are in the numbers...
"The Old Oaken Bucket" was (and is) 9 inches long, from an experimental and transitional model retained by Columbia. It was expertly restored. The actual original MG cylinder, however, was 14 inches long (just over 6 inches in diameter). The longer (true) measurement is verified by the surviving 3-reproducer carriage - It does not accommodate the 'Bucket' cylinder.

Hi
I see that the earlier (2014?) MG photos by Kendphono have expired. A friend has asked me if they can be seen again.
