My Early Hand Made Edison Class M Style Cylinder Phonograph

Post by FellowCollector »

For anyone interested I've recently posted (perhaps an hour or so ago) a video on my YouTube channel of the early hand made Edison class M style cylinder phonograph that Wyatt was kind enough to bring back to life for me several months ago. Wyatt's passion and expertise with repairing mechanical music machines is exceeded only by his conscientious attitude and attention to detail for the customers he serves. I'm grateful that he offered his services to get my machine running after sitting idly and non-working on my shelf for about 23 years.

I posted a few details about it and its history in my description for the video. I felt no need to repeat the fascinating details that Wyatt provided here a few months ago. I hope that a few of you will enjoy the video in spite of my somewhat lengthy introduction which I will continue to provide in varying degrees for all of my videos. Most of my viewers appreciate the intros.

Just saw the video on your channel, and thouroughly enjoyed it! I'm quite a fan of your videos, especially the ones with your Victor Type "A".

That machine is really a neat oddity!
