Re: The Rosenfield AZ Coin-Operated Phonograph
WOW!!! Amazing mechanism. What is the significance of the spiral rod in the front of the machine having half of it's grooves serrated and the other half smooth?
Thanks for sharing.

The serrated part to the extreme right of the return screw engages a toothed cam, which raises the reproducer simultaneously as the carriage is being moved to the left.Phono-Phan wrote: What is the significance of the spiral rod in the front of the machine having half of it's grooves serrated and the other half smooth?

Spectacular Shawn!
Great video not only shows the Rosenfield in action but your added details and history push this one over the top.

Thanks for this great video. I acquired one of these machines last year and Shawn was immensely helpful to me in getting it set up and properly running.
Now, if he would only conduct a class on creating and editing videos!

Re: The Rosenfield AZ Coin-Operated Phonograph
Another delightful bit of insight into the magic of early coin-ops. I've always loved the combination of a spring motor Graphophone with an electric motor to wind it.

George, thank you.
Yes, the round cam catches on those rotating teeth (driven by the DC motor) to flip up the carriage.

Re: The Rosenfield AZ Coin-Operated Phonograph
Just watched it, and although it is interesting, I would sure like to see that return (and the other things that happen at that point) in detail and repeated in slow motion, in v2.0 of the video! You sit through a whole 2m of Ada and then the payoff is over in 2 seconds!

Re: The Rosenfield AZ Coin-Operated Phonograph
Thanks for the video. I have never seen one play before though I have one in my collection. Would love to see tips/tricks on getting one of these to operate.
