The Performance of a Melophonic

Post by RolandVV-360 »

By request, I have produced a video of a Melophonic phonograph, modeled after the Victor 4-3 "Consolette". This video was made to document the Melophonic's sound performance with electrical records, and to compare performances with other machines such as the Orhophonic Victor phonographs

Hi Roland:


MANY THANKS for posting that! I'm impressed! It sounds very close, in terms of sound quality, to the videos of the Consolette. A nice room filling sound. Perhaps it will inspire others to restore their Ortho-Clones.
