Quite funny, I have a bit of a story about frank sinatra and phonographs. A friend of mine contacted me after she found out I collected and restored phonographs. I went over, and she had a standard A on a small cylinder cabinet. I talked to my friends family for a bit, and the story goes that her grandmother was neighbors with Frank sinatra, and she received the cabinet and blue amberols from him as a gift. Whether that is completely true or not I have no way of knowing of course

He seems to blow it as a huge tuba. I wonder how strong the noise could be... :D

UK Gem would have a big nickel-plated patent plaque on the front, wouldn’t it?

If it was an Edison Bell it would.
