The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

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.

WHOA! Now that’s a jukebox!

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

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

Another awesome restoration. It really looks great, nice job as always.

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

What a HUGE marvel!

Beautiful work, Paul-- I agree-- More details of the restoration would be great to see-

And Paul-- Two snowblowers?? Expecting a tougher than usual winter up there?

Very nice!

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

Paul,
You did a fantastic job, as always. This is a beautiful machine, yes, post it playing.

All the best,

David & Lerria--- Dallas,Tx
