Excellent detailed demonstration Shawn! Your explanations regarding the manufacturing and distribution history of the Multiphones is especially appreciated.
I like the opening fanfare too!
Thanks for such a good job!

I saw a Multiphone when I visited Fort Meyers several years ago, but it was the two minute version with the lyre shaped cabinet. It was nice to see the four minute version!edisonplayer.

Love it. Thanks for sharing. Is rectalingular a word?

[Shawn]

Well, Ken, hopefully I said rectilinear - meaning characterized by straight lines. I do get pronunciations mixed up sometimes, so, who knows!!!

All, thanks for the comments. I'll keep em coming!

I enjoyed your presentation very much, Shawn. I am amazed that the robust mechanism can be spring-powered, even with a Triton motor!

Hi Shawn, Thank you for posting the video, I don't believe I have ever seen that particular model of Multiphone, do you have any idea how many are known to have survived? Thanks Larry

Thank you for sharing your very cool machine here.
