"The phonograph is not of any commercial value."

"No one needs a Victrola XX, a Perfected Graphophone Type G, or whatever you call those noisy things."

Re: Orchestrion of the Future
I've seen him and his machine in the past, absolutely amazing! 
Although he's always struggling to bring the concept to further perfection, the ingenuity and relative simplicity of his first machine remain unsurpassed in my humble opinion. It's all made with plywood and iron wires and tubing that any of us might have at home. And it also played the most catchy tune.
