The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I know this isn't the stuff we usually talk about here and it has probably been posted before but I was so impressed with this machine and the great presentation of it I had to share. Anybody with the love of mechanical gizmos will love it! I wouldn't mind having one!

Fascinating! I thought the long-play (LP) record was introduced in 1948, but it does appear that RCA came out with one in 1931 as explained here.

Thanks for the post Dwight. These machines are just way cool in design and to watch. And you're right. The video production is excellent. Great music too.

As soon as I saw & heard the opening segment of the video, I remembered seeing this here last summer. Here's the original thread:

I wish Bob would video his entire collection!

In fact, Edison came out with an LP record back in 1926: it didn't catch on either, because of technical problems; but the 33 ⅓ format survived for some years as radio transcription discs.

Thanks, everyone! I'm glad people have enjoyed this!
I have another project that I plan to post in the near future.
