Small and cheap Cylinder machines

[oceanlinerfanatic]

What are a list of some of the smallest and or cheapest made cylinder machines made? Cheap can be both price and quality. Examples, Columbia Q, Rectorphone,ect

[TinfoilPhono]

Amet Echophone, first marketed in 1896 at $5 -- long before the Columbia B or Q. They were quickly sued out of existence by Columbia and the remaining phonographs were liquidated, mostly through premium offerings.

I think the Pathé 0 ("Democratique") would qualify:

[Lucius1958]

There's also the 'Puck'... and the the 'Oratiograph' (iirc): hand-driven, with the stylus directly attached to a celluloid horn...

Judging by that stylus I bet they sounded great

Pucks are cool! Never heard of a Oratiograph but now I am intrigued. Any videos of these playing?
