Japanese TV Program on Music Reproduction - 1977

[CarlosV]

Interesting 1977 TV program partly filmed in the Edison site, and partly showing a collection in Japan. An assortment of a little of everything, from EMGs to Edisons, from Klingsors to HMVs, including tin foil and cylinder recording demos. Apart from some overdubbed interviews in English, all is in Japanese, including some rather curious period advertisements.

It has been a long long time since I watched this program hosted by Kinya Aikawa in Japan. Thanks for posting this.

Thanks for sharing this. Great to see Charlie Hummel showing off his collection, including interesting rarities like the duplicating machine.

I met Mr. Seiro Shinagawa, who was a collector and the owner of Japan Audio Collections, which sold phonographs, Gramophones, Victrola, etc and 78rpm records. He passed away about ten years ago. I don't know what happened to his collection and his company.
