A girl gets her first Edison phonograph. And her description of Edison's invention process is surprisingly accurate, especially for a new owner.

She is absolutely delightful in her video presentation from start to finish. Aside from the homemade crank and loose bottom board the phonograph looks nice and plays well in spite of the cylinder being pretty worn. Thanks for sharing this.
