The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hi

I picked up this Rapid Repeater at a recent auction, it came with the riginal box and instructions. It is so cool, I can imagine these would have been very popular in there time.

Does anyone know when it would have been made?

I tried to embed the video, no luck.

I missed the other post too.
That is a very cool device.
I guess yours is not stamped with the patent date of 1921?

Quick as a flash... from Talking Machine World...

Skim the cream off the Christmas trade by featuring this truly wonderful repeater.
Nothing like it has ever been offered before. It is so unique and novel in operation
that it instantly sells itself. The CESCO Repeater is the ideal repeater —
quick as a flash — positive in action. Sturdily built of sheet metal, simple in design,
without intricate mechanism or complicated parts. Needs no adjusting whatever,
just sets in the center of the record.

The CESCO Repeater is distributed through jobbers. Samples gladly sent to dealers
on receipt of jobber's name. Put up in cartons of 12, with holly boxes for Christmas trade.

The Universal Gift — and Only a Dollar!
