The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I have a friend who has a record that is labeled Operaphone. The label indicates that it can only be played on an Operaphone phonograph. Has anyone ever come across this phonograph?

I have never seen an Operaphone machine; but the record can most likely be played on any machine with a vertical adaptor.

The vertical Operaphone records were also designed to use a standard steel needle instead of a jewel stylus.

The excellent Search function on this forum turns up this very long thread, with pictures:

There are probably more "hits," but this should get you started.


Merry Christmas, Mark

Thanks for the information. The Forum continues to amaze me with the wealth of knowledge that is available. Awesome resource...
