Re: Edison Automatic Phonograph
Another amazing treasure. I have always coveted this early coin-op. Yours looks to be the nicest original around, and as usual your video is well-produced, very informative, and fun to watch. Thanks for sharing that!

That is exactly how I want to be educated about this type of mechanical device.
I want to see how it works, hear what it sounds like, and learn a little of its history.
