The Regina Automatic Reginaphone!

Post by Shawn »

Here's another coin-slot phonograph that is not very often seen in person, pictures, or in a video.

Enjoy!!!

Though not specifically phonograph related, here is my next fun video relating to what we're all going through

As always, you can enjoy previous videos of coin-slots in the series on the APS website in the video section.

Fantastic video! The Regina Hexaphone is definitely my most desired machine, and knowing more about the Reginaphone is really wonderful. I had assumed that the Reginaphone was retired, and that the Regina Hexaphone took its place before they made any 4 minute mechanism. Can't wait to see more of you're fantastically produced content in the future.

I know you've been everywhere 8-) , but when this clears up you need to head for Nashville... ;)

Also, is this Reginaphone one that you bought in Orlando several years ago?

What a wonderful and intricately compact machine! I've only ever seen one 'in the flesh,' well over 20 years ago, and that one was incomplete.

Stunning coin-op and a great video presentation.

Thank you for a great video, it's the first time I hear a cylinder machine playing at a constant speed! It sounds great! What an interesting machine!!!

I don't think what you are hearing is a direct recording from this machine, rather it is from an electronic pickup. Notice there is no horn on the machine while it is being demonstrated.
