The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I thought I would share this seldom seen Apollo record repeater. I like how they use "Instantaneous" to describe it's function. Is there any other kind of repeater... .

It was patented in 1917 and again in 1920. Manufactured by the International Musical Appliance Company of Providence, Rhode Island and sold for $3.00.
Hope you enjoy the video. https://youtu.be/sFmAeJGfzNA

Excellent sharing. I liked your repeater stop video too.
Though the mechanism are simple, its much intriguing at times.
This is what I guess draws us to explore more. Like you I also take immense interest in gramophone related accessories.
This is so fascinating. Lets keep up and cheers D:)

Very nice presentation!
Would you have a scan of the setup directions possibly?
Repeating that record selection over and over might drive anyone nuts!
Three dollars was a lot for that era.
Thanks for posting.

Nice gadget!
A dance instructor could benefit from the extended play.

But how did they change the needle!!??

"Furnishes continuous music for dancing" What if I just want to listen though?

Not to mention,"Is invaluable where records are used for educational, commercial or instructive purposes"....purposes".....purposes"...

I guess it still needs some adjustment.... .
