The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Probably it's just my imagination & the way the light reflected off the grooves, because the matrix pictured, 39789-1, is indeed listed in the Columbia Master Book as FRANK COOMBS & ERNEST ALDWELL - THERE'S A LITTLE SPARK OF LOVE STILL BURNING , recorded Jan 22, 1915. It was issued on Columbia A-1695.

ps: Cute little machine, and a nice job of restoration! Is the internal horn metal?

I don't want to be responsible for highjacking dutchman's thread with the picture of the record, but would just like to add that it is a lateral cut and plays well. The flash does indeed make the grooves look vertical.
Love the Lakeside machine, it looks great.

Lakeside Disk phonographs and records were produced by Columbia for Montgomery Ward. As far as red felt is concerned, Columbia used that on the very earliest BN and some client machines.

This is all interesting to me for sure. I'll be on the lookout for a decently priced Lakeside record to complete the package. Appreciate all the inputs for sure. Cheers

dutchman,

You have inspired me, and I will be on the lookout for a Lakeside phono. Like the Lakeside label, can't explain why.
