Scooby Doo Cygnet horn!

Post by kirtley2012 »

I was just watching this with my sister and noticed that the doorbell in this scene was made from an Edison no.10 cygnet horn, at around 0:40 in this clip:

In a later scene a Columbia (I think) gramophone is featured, although something tells me that song is not on a 78...

Yes, it looks like an Edison cygnet horn, but the machine in the second clip (assuming its a real phonograph), looks like a French or Swiss machine, not a Columbia...
"The phonograph† is not of any commercial value."

Yes, I think you're right, the horn does appear to be real even if the machine isn't
