I'm glad I saw this several hours after I ate. It looks like something out of a bad horror movie. I have no idea what the extra cranks are for :o At least the seller is honest stating this is not an antique. :roll: :roll: Well Duhh!!! :roll: :roll: No sh##, Sherlock. :roll: :roll: However, this is a better deal than that ugly wooden horn in another thread. Actually, that wooden horn will be a terrific upgrade to the usual brass horn on a crap-o-phone. :lol: :lol:

It's just a SteamPunk creation.
At least no real phonographs were harmed in the making of it!

It's the perfect machine to project your photographs with a phonograph... (hopefully one of a kind)

If you ignore the crapophone part this is a rather nifty Peep Show:

It's like a Mutoscope with sound. Interesting picture estot.
