The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

One of my favorite tech youtubers finally touches on something from the acoustic era (sort of). A Mikiphone crapophone. I didn’t even know India made reproductions of these.

Thanks for sharing. While I own an original Mikiphone (and a Mikkyphone too), I had seen these Indian repros on ebay and wondered about them. Techmoan confirmed my suspicions. Just another crudely made crapophone.

That Indian Mikiphone makes me suspicious of any real Mikiphones that sell for more than $150... If you aged one of the repros, it would probably fool a lot of buyers...
