LOL, I like how he says the player needs a new stylus, otherwise it damages the records.
I guess he doesn't realise he's playing wax cylinders with a diamond needle.
Shame really, because there's a few good titles there.
It's bit expensive for a parts machine & firewood

Re: strange (homemade?) Edison cabinet cylinder player
The bottom part looks quite professional...and then there is the lid...ahem. Didn't the Babson mail order firm sell some sort of record cabinet thingy that you set your Amberola 30 in and it gave the appearance of a little upright machine?

yes, Babson did! They were a huge Edison distributor at the time, but I'm sure you know this already...
