Two down and two to go

Post by edisonclassm »

I've just recently finished the second one of these rare machines this year after having spent the last nine years researching and restoring the second of four. This machine plays 24 4 minute indestructibles no doubt updated to that format as the mirror inside is dated 1905. Another unusual feature of this machine is the decal. Unique as far as I know. Showing a Winona, Minnesota address instead of the Grand Rapids, Michigan address. Different decal altogether from the Grand Rapids one.

Hope you'll do a detailed featured phonograph post on that beauty!

Does Charlie Hummel have one of these or perhaps something very similar?

Thanks Mike,
Your Hexaphone is the next one to come off the line. It's a terrifically complex little machine!

Very nice!

If you're able, you should post a video of it in action.
