"The phonograph is not of any commercial value."

Since the You Tube poster is in Mexico.....I can say I have seen a couple of these very rare Fajitaphone's in my travels down there. Love the Swiss reproducer made by Edison.....LOL!!!!. I believe the man responsible for making these is no longer with us. I met his two Sons and was amazed at all the "fantasy" ideas he had. Etched glass panels was another of his favorites.....

. Seriously, in 20 years I was never able to get into that mans house. He dies and his two Son's have me over. To my utter amazement......I pulled out of there some very rare original parts.....also one of the rarest Berliner records I own. To date.....the only copy to have survived... 
. To think.....I was actually going to decline the invitation from them. Assuming it was going to all be junk. However, in retrospect.....the man needed some original parts to make his copies..
. As I always say......you never know.
