WANTED: Gillette Tinfoil Phonograph

[Lee]

Hello, I am looking to purchase a Gillette Tinfoil Phonograph in any reasonable condition to experiment with. Even if you don't want to sell, would love to see photos. Please send info to [email protected]
Many thanks, Lee

Hi Lee

perhaps the reason for the deafening silence is that you are asking for something that hardly exists. 15 copies were made in the 1990's, and a small handful of others.

Hello, thanks for the reply. You are correct, and I am aware of this fact. But you never know who actually has what and at the very least I might generate some interest or discussion on the topic in general. Many thanks, Lee

I suggest searching in the forum for Gillette. I remember other threads talking about it...

here a photo of a slightly improved model but similar to a Gillette

I remember now.. I remember that colleague pedrofono it's producing a limited number of replicas, very well made and completely functional, of a Gillette phonograph. I suggest you to contact him privately.

Pedro is making Gillett's electric motor wax cylinder phonograph, not the tinfoil.

[Inigo]

Ah, ok. For my lately bad memory,,, this was almost a good goal!

Thanks to all who commented. I especially like the picture from Sidewinder! Lee

Here is a picture of a Gillette tinfoil made by Miroslav Stehlik years ago.
