A100 Diamond Disc Demo

Post by FloridaClay »

Here is a little video of an A100 I just finished getting spruced up. First video I've done in a couple of years and am a bit rusty now, biggest issue being that the light is not very good so color is very washed out.

Great song and well made video! I have an A-100 just like this, minus the record storage. That record storage is an added plus. Most of these I see are mahogany when I see one. Mine is dark like yours. My attachment to it is it was my first machine. Thanks for posting and sharing. Steve

You are very welcome. Mine is fumed oak.

Here's a picture of my A100 in Mahogany with the record storage cabinet. I think they are a very nice looking machine.

Nice video, Clay! I really like the fumed oak cabinet. And that's a great tune.

Well done,

A little postscript. A bit of searching in Talking Machine World (November 1915 edition) and I found out that the after-market record drawer was made by Salter.
