This is a special machine and deserved an all out video. I am glad that you enjoyed it!!
It was a blast to research and make the video. Super glad to share it with all.

Shawn, I have been anxiously awaiting your review of this 1892 Chicago Coin Op since I learned of its existence several months ago. I was not disappointed. The machine - both its discovery and restoration are absolutely amazing. And your video was equally amazing. The research that went into telling the story of this historic early CoinOp phonograph was incredible. Bravo!!!! Well done!!!

I would like to hear about the circumstances of the machine’s discovery in a warehouse. Has there been a post on this forum about it?

You've outdone yourself with this one, Shawn. I especially liked the Columbian Exposition info.
