My New Phonograph and Cylinder Record

[Wolfe]

Hello phonograph collectors. My name is Brent, I am fairly new to collecting phonographs.

Yeah, sure, 'Brent'

Brent,
Surely you know that Edison Diamond Disc record doesn't belong on that Victrola? Victor's lateral format and Edison's vertical format are completely incompatible and playing Edison DD records on a Victrola and vice-versa will result in immediate, permanent damage to the recordings.

John, lol yeah I know. I'm surprised you noticed that in the picture. I had just set it on there when I was moving some stuff around. I need to take it off of there.

Hi Brent,
Nice collection you have there. I sold a copy of the Lincoln cylinder you have on ebay, and it was in nice shape just like yours. The final bid was $52.62 and (strangely) it went to someone in Spain. Hope this helps. -Shane

In my little speech, I make some slight misstatements, surely.

I do not know that mine is the only one working with new friction parts.

The work was done by myself in 1987, and not being a machinist, it was about 100 hours of work,
so I never did another, other than for my BM.

Here, but I'll try to make a better demo eventually with a better camera and lighting.

Any questions? I can try to answer, as it would be nice to see more BCs play loud and clearly,
