My new mechanical music building

Post by Mlund2020 »

I have been working on a new building to house my mechanical music collection and a few antique cars. My mechanical music collection features several early Berliner Gramophones and some of the earliest Wurlitzer nickelodeons. I still have a fair amount to do, but thought I would share a video and pics if the project so far.

Sorry that I could only get the video to post under low resolution, despite several tries.

That is just nuts. Wonderful machines (all still running paper!) And the Packard is such a beauty.

Mike,
That looks great... I wondered when you would start filling your new space.
