As there is no connection between the reproducer and the internal horn, the person who cobbled this thing together never even finished the job!

It's a combo coffee grinder/phonograph... Why waste all that cranking when you could have a cup of joe while listening to a remade cylinder playing "You're The Cream In My Coffee"...?tomb wrote:That big red wheel crank is a good addition Tom B

Re: Unique Under Glass Machine on Ebay
Curt that is a brilliant idea. Re do the next Edison as a Star Bucks phonograph and the younger generation will flock to buy cylinder shaped coffee cups. and as a bonus they can be played on a phonograph.. We need to do a start up on this. Maybe we can show this to Mark Cuban. Tom B

That's a swell idea! All we need to do is find the recipe for cylinders, produce larger cylinders, and then design a machine to play them.tomb wrote:Curt that is a brilliant idea.
