The Electramuse...

Today I read a wonderful article today on the Holcomb & Hoke Electramuse 78rpm record changer/jukebox:

Just wondering, do any forum members have one of these in their collections? Looks like a fun machine to own.

Very interesting and complex.

Here's a Popular Mechanics article from 1923. An overly complex concept that would have required live-in tech support.

That gent could save his bankroll with a library of records, a Period Victrola - say a Sheraton electric, and having Jeeves jockey the discs.

Thanks for the article. I always find these early jukebox mechanisms fascinating.
